Jefferson trt Smith (James Stewart) is a naive young idealist named senator. Ignore that Washington will be watching them with politicians and unscrupulous employers who will lose faith. When you try to denounce corruption, is wrongly accused trt of enriching themselves and expelled from the Senate. But he has one last turn of phrase, which lasts as dictate U.S. law, until it ends. The young senator speak for 23 hours straight, passionately defending democracy and highlighting trt a major corruption scheme. So ends (sorry for the spoiler) movie, 1939, "Knight without a Sword," Frank Capra. On Wednesday, Rand Paul, Republican senator, blocked the vote on John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States to protest drone attacks against U.S. citizens . Paul spoke for 12 hours and 52 minutes, and his team was tweeted and going to their website the first seven hours of speech. What do Rand Paul and what was the protagonist of the film is what is called "filibustering." It is a technique of parliamentary obstructionism by which is intended to block passage of a bill through a discourse of long duration. It is effective in parliamentary systems in which politicians have no set time limit for intervention: a congressman can talk whenever you want to sit or not to stop. Usually, trt you get to read aloud cookbooks, novels, etc ... until the session is postponed. Rand Paul was far from the record set by Strom Thurmond in 1957 to speak for 24 hours and 18 minutes against trt racial segregation. Thurmond began speaking at 20.54h on 28 August and continued until 21.12h next night, getting to recite the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the farewell speech of President George Washington and many laws and other historical documents without lowering the platform. But Thurmond was not the only legislator "filibuster" about this law, the Civil Rights Act. According to the records of the Senate, the senators were able to sabotage the vote for 57 days due to filibustering, between 26 March and 19 June 1957, the day he finally be able to vote. This is not something new, having numerous examples in the United States and the British parliamentary tradition. As indicated by Ignacio Prados: already trt in the Roman Republic, Cato the Younger was known to hold entire days without stopping to talk to any initiative to stop his political enemy Julius Caesar or Labour in 2010 were delayed until the limit debate a law, causing the House of Lords employees had prepared beds and organize catering to prevent the long night that waited hoping that the House of Lords sent the common law confirmed. An example also appears in a chapter of "The West Wing of the White House." trt It is a mere symbolism, usually to draw media attention, and to make themselves known, released or what is about to be approved. A good measure of pressure, if you stay on target!.
