Amazing that Democrats oppose the Filibuster. Guess who had the longest one in history.

The claim: Democrats held the nation’s longest filibuster for 75 days to attempt to prevent the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
When senators want to put the brakes on legislation, they talk. And talk. And talk some more. That's called a filibuster.

Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Recently a claim has made the rounds: "In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. The Civil Rights Act."


Democrats were racists then, and they are still racists today.

Strom Thurmond, who held the longest individual filibuster to protest the Civil Rights Act, later became a Republican and was famously praised by the Republican Senate majority leader in the year 2000. He also, as governor, signed the first voter ID law in this country’s history.
