Strom Thurmond once filibustered in the Senate for 24 hours and 18 minutes.
And all to try to deny civil rights and keep segregation legal. Truly something to admire. "With a slow-motion but sweeping gesture of the arm, he denounced 'those nine men' on the Supreme Court for their decision outlawing school segregation,"
Hey come on now, he's changed his ways.
Only because he's dead.
What a hero... I can't believe anyone can look up to someone like that
