When Bernie Sanders filibustered the Senate he had to stand up and speak.

Remember Bernie Sanders' filibuster? He stood on the Senate floor speaking continuously from morning until night.

Why don't Republicans have to do the same?

By the way, Bernie Sanders is one hell of a lot more of a Democrat than the majority of self-named Democrats in both the Senate and the House. Just one old fart's opinion of course, but I've seen a lot of Democrats come and go and Bernie beats the living snot out of most all of them.
