Princeton progressives go all night long!

Yesterday we brought you news that students at Princeton University had decided to take matters in their own hands and start filibustering Bill Frist whatever those jokers in Washington end up doing.

Specifically, a bunch of them got together and began reading any document they could find in front of the Frist Campus Center, the building Frist’s family paid a ton of money to get named after him.

We’re told it ended up raining. But these young worthies kept at it all night.

According to the campus paper, “students on Frist North Lawn continuously read from the U.S. Constitution, ‘My Pet Goat’ and other documents to protest recent actions by the man whose family funded the building before which they were standing.”

Will campus ‘wingers break the filibuster? Will they call out the Pinkerton Men? And how many votes do they need for cloture? Inquiring Minds …

Late Update: You can see pictures of the on-going filibuster here.
