WASHINGTON – It’s been more than 20 hours.

Sen. Cory Booker has not sat down, or even wandered far from his desk on the Senate floor, where he has been delivering a marathon speech railing against President Donald Trump and his administration’s sweeping policy changes.

Since he started speaking at 7 p.m. on Monday night, the senior senator from New Jersey has not eaten. He has periodically sipped from two glasses of water that sit on his desk near five three-ring binders and a box of tissues. And he has not left the chamber to go to the bathroom.

OK, his speech is over, and it lasted more than 25 hours, the longest in Senate history. And at least he stands for something. Not like our Kentucky senators who either can’t stand at all or can’t stand up to their neighbors.
