Current filibustering doesn't require any sacrifices. You just vote no and that's it. It effectively means it takes 60 votes to get stuff through the senate.

Current filibustering doesn't require any sacrifices. You just vote no and that's it. It effectively means it takes 60 votes to get stuff through the senate. The fictionalized filibuster where you had to stand at the pulpit and give speeches 24/7 went away quite a while ago.
