Democratic US senator Cory Booker accused US President Donald Trump of “recklessly” attacked by national democratic institutions in a marathon speech that approached the record on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old MP in New Jersey, in a speech that began at 7 pm on Monday and continued through the night and on Tuesday afternoon, criticized the campaign of Republican President and his key advisor Elon Musk, the richest world in the world to reduce large parts of the Federal Government.
“Our institutions are recklessly and unconstitutionally attacked and even broken,” Booker said, first elected to the US Senate in 2013.
In the first weeks in power, Trump’s administration has moved to the direct closure of certain government weapons, including the US Ministry of Education, deprived of Congressia approved consumption and questioned the powers of federal courts to limit its policies.
Democratic voters have been angry in recent weeks because Trump, aided by the Congress under the control of Republicans, has shook the anciently established US alliances and reduced more than 100,000 federal workers. This anger is also focused on Republican legislators and their own leaders of the Democratic Party, including the top Democrats of Senate Chuck Schumer, for cooperation with the Republican Senate Republic to make the proposal for the Government Financing Act that prevented partially exclusion.
“Cory Booker is looking for another moment” I am Spartacus “, but that failed for his failed presidential campaign, and failed to block the candidate for the Supreme Court of Trump, Brett Kavanaugh,” said the deputy secretary of the Harrison Fields White House.
Booker approaching the Senate record
Until Tuesday afternoon, Booker was approaching the Senate record for the longest continuous speech, currently holding segregation senator Strom Thurmond from South Carolina.
In the summer of 1957. Thurmond launched a Philibuster against the legislation of civil rights, which lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes. In the end, Thurmond failed in his mission to block the proposal of a law that has expanded the federal protection of voting rights for black people.
Since Booker’s speech is not directed at a particular part of the legislation, it is technically not considered to be a philibuster, although it stopped another Senate action.
The only interruption of Booker was when the course of a colleague of Democrat, one by one, came to the floor to ask him a question, which allowed him to retain control over his speech time.
By Tuesday afternoon, he began to show signs of stress. When he lowered a piece of paper from his desk, he looked down, very slowly and began to bend carefully to pick him up only to save him by a colleague of democratic senator Michael Bennet from Colorado, who assisted him.
The unification theme of Booker’s wrath was a man’s campaign to reduce the size and scope of the US government.
