Senate rules allow for virtually unlimited debate on a bill, and a filibuster is a means of using these rules to prevent a bill's passage by speaking for as long as possible. At the time of Thurmond's filibuster, leaving the chamber or sitting down while speaking would end a senator's speech. A filibuster can also be ended by a cloture vote, which requires a certain percentage of senators to agree that a speech should be ended. At the time of Thurmond's speech, the threshold for cloture was a two-thirds majority. Thurmond holds the record for the longest solo filibuster, but longer filibusters have been carried out by groups of senators. Thurmond's filibuster was primarily focused on a specific provision in the civil rights bill that focused on minor voting rights contempt cases. The provision allowed these cases to be tried by a judge without a jury present, but allowed a second trial by jury if penalties in the first trial exceeded 45 days' imprisonment or $300 in fines. This arrangement had been decided through a compromise between Republicans and Democrats, though according to historian Joseph Crespino it had very little practical impact since many judges would not hear a case without a jury if doing so made a second trial more likely. Thurmond and other Southern senators saw the provision as a violation of the defendant's right to a trial by jury, which is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Thurmond had been significantly involved in politics before his senatorship: he had served as governor of South Carolina, helped to found the States' Rights Democratic Party after a walkout over civil r ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 05:04:32 -0400 From: "Amazing Deals" Subject: Gift Card!

The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was designed to federally secure and protect the right of African Americans to vote, and was supported by the NAACP alongside the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration. The Act aimed to protect this right by establishing a Civil Rights Division within the Department of Justice and a U.S. Civil Rights Commission. In the Senate, many Democrats from Southern states were angered by the bill. The original bill had passed in the House of Representatives in June, but when the bill was sent to the Senate it was significantly watered down by a compromise to satisfy the Democrats. The Senate compromise removed a provision that would have allowed the Attorney General to file suit for discrimination in public places and added an amendment that guaranteed a trial by jury for anyone charged with restricting an individual's right to vote. This modified version of the bill passed the House on August 27 by a vote of 279b97. Strom Thurmond, a United States senator from South Carolina, remarked that the civil rights bill constituted a "cruel and unusual punishment", and stated that he hoped to "educate the country" by means of an extended speech against the legislation.

The filibuster, an extended speech designed to stall legislation, began at 8:54 p.m.[Note 1] and lasted until 9:12 p.m. the following day, a duration of 24 hours and 18 minutes. This made the filibuster the longest single-person filibuster in United States Senate history, a record that still stands as of 2022. The filibuster focused primarily on asserting that the bill was both unnecessary and unconstitutional, and Thurmond read from several historical and legal documents. Thurmond had served in the Senate for only three years before the speech, but was politically well-known even before his election to the Senate. As a show of physical endurance, the filibuster also served to reinforce Southern ideas about white masculine strength and power. The bill in question worked to make voting more accessible to African Americans. Thurmond focused on a particular provision in the bill that dealt with certain court cases, but was against the entirety of the bill. Although the filibuster was supported by many South Carolinians and citizens of other Southern states, Thurmond's dec ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2022 05:51:08 -0400 From: "Flexible Material@witnesses.za.com" Subject: Tired of Your Old and Dirty Sofa Tired of Your Old and Dirty Sofa http://witnesses.za.com/JqDpONxRLcrtXX3bXiuup0sW-MMMHE6ubehADIfezN0EotzOSw http://witnesses.za.com/CPzuGkZS7E6T0-99SmfvDQEvt09CAmMRf4OsJorfLF3WtL2NxQ filibuster began at 8:54 p.m. on August 28, 1957, with a reading of the election laws of each of the 48 states,[Note 2] and continued with readings from U.S. Supreme Court rulings, Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville, and George Washington's Farewell Address. The Senate chamber gallery, filled with hundreds of spectators at the beginning of the filibuster, dwindled to just NAACP lobbyist Clarence Mitchell Jr. and Thurmond's wife Jean at points during the early morning hours. On the morning of the 29th, Thurmond's voice dropped to a mumble and his tone became increasingly monotonous. Republican leader William Knowland from California requested around midday that Thurmond speak up so he could be sure no motions were being made, but Thurmond responded by suggesting that the senator move closer. Knowland remained where he was. At approximately 1 p.m., Thurmond yielded to allow for the swearing-in of William Proxmire, who had been elected following the death of Joseph McCarthy, after which he resumed his speech. Thurmond was also allowed breaks throughout the day by other senators, including some in support of the bill, when they questioned him at length. Thurmond concluded his filibuster after 24 hours and 18 minutes at 9:12 p.m. on August 29, making it the longest filibuster ever conducted in the Senate as of 2022. This surpassed the previous record set by Wayne Morse, who spoke against the Submerged Lands Act for 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953. Teams of Congressional stenographers worked together to record the speech for the Congressional Record, which ultimately consumed 96 pages in the Record and cost taxpayers over $7,000 in printing costs ($68,000 in ------------------------------ Date: 29 Aug 2022 00:00:22 -0700 From: "Mark Vasiloz" Subject: Aw: Re: Check attached PI [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/zip which had a name of Attached PI.zip] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2022 11:15:59 -0400 From: "Your Pelvis" Subject: The "Hidden Survival Muscle" In Your Body The "Hidden Survival Muscle" In Your Body http://posturebroaed.za.com/ZMxhj87jF4Vs9MLp8t5t8fmT6e70C4meOfkXOcRw4mlfyaOSIw http://posturebroaed.za.com/W0Mj2F8bSD6ng5zh70VAuTj9MPDxuqlGtBv295Q-9dibMSEH rtain tawdry look" and felt that Poynter's designs were cramped, with the lettering on the shilling oversized. There was some objection from Wales to the exclusion of any emblem of that country from the coinage, given the depiction of symbols of England, Scotland and Ireland, and some wanted a leek or dragon included. John Leighton of the Society of Antiquaries, though, stated that he found the leek "far from decorative and as difficult to characterise as a carrot". Fremantle deemed the new obverse "almost the popular portrait of the Queen" and praised De Saulles for his part in "the favourable reception of coins both by experts and by the public generally". Sets of proof coins of the new issue, dated 1893, were sold by the Royal Mint to the public at a premium. No bronze coins (the penny and its fractions) had been struck with the Jubilee portrait, as there was then a large surplus of them. In 1895, De Saulles adapted Brock's obverse for the bronze pieces, making modifications to their reverses, and these were made current by a proclamation dated 11 May 1895. The Australian branch mints of Melbourne and Sydney struck sovereigns in every year from 1893 to 1901. Half sovereigns were struck at Sydney in each year, and at Melbourne in 1893, 1896, 1899 and 1900. In 1899, a third Australian branch mint began to strike sovereigns. This was the Perth Mint, inaugurated on 20 June 1899.

The committee was chaired by the Liberal MP, Sir John Lubbock, and the other members were David Powell, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England; Richard Blaney Wade, Chairman of the National Provincial Bank; Sir Frederic Leighton, President of the Royal Academy; Sir John Evans, President of the British Numismatic Society; and Sir Charles Fremantle, Deputy Master of the Royal Mint. At its first meeting, on 12 February 1891, the committee recommended that the double florin not be further struck. They felt that as the five-shilling piece would continue to be coined, two large silver pieces were unnecessary. The government agreed with the recommendationbminting of the double florin had been suspended in August 1890. At its second, on 27 February, the committee considered an open competition for new coinage designs, but instead decided to invite several artists (all Royal Academicians or associate members of the academy) to submit proposals. The invited artists were asked to submit two portraits of Victoria, both left-facing, since the Royal Mint was contemplating not using the same portrait on the florin and half crown to avoid confusion between the denominations, which were close in size and value. Entrants were offered B#150 for their labours, an amount the Illustrated London News considered inadequate, and two artists declined the invitation.
