I don't know if this has been asked yet regarding Cory Booker's amazing effort.

I've heard that if he takes a bathroom break, that he will not be allowed to continue speaking.

So I'm assuming he must be using a a catheter?

If so, his effort is even more praiseworthy.

1. Probably diaper, right?

3. I, for one, have spoken aloud while taking a bathroom break

I don't know why the good Senator should be prevented from doing the same. He surely has a portable microphone and he can be heard over any background noise. Let it flow!

5. By rules can't step off Senate floor

6. Time to change those rules

We'll call it the Booker Rule, if we have too. To go where no man (or woman) has gone before!

9. If we are going to change the filibuster rules, the best option is to get rid of it, altogether.

It's an oft-abused relic from slavery and should not exist.

10. No argument from me there!

7. Apparently

When he needs a break, another Dem senator rises to ask a question. Just long enough.

8. I would assume he is using a catheter

11. Texas catheter

I assumed the same - what the gays call a "Texas catheter" -- external only. Think condom and tube. More capacity than a diaper, depending on setup.

Not sure if the rest of the world calls it that, and yes, I live an interesting life.

I do recall a mention of an internal catheter that someone used once, but I think it was the Texas state rep?
