the filibuster. it is not going to move the ball on passing legislation to protect voting rights. so what now? >> well i do think that what we want is we want there to be a debate and a vote. because we want people to be on record of saying what side are they on. are you supporting voting rights at this moment or you're not supporting voting rights at this moment. so i think it is one thing for people to say and another thing for them to have to get on the floor and vote one way or another. the second thing is we've always seen where there has never been a right time for voting rights. i have to remind people in 1965 that everybody told dr. king to wait, including the president said it wasn't the right time. so we have to continue to put pressure on, but agree with mrs. king, whether it is tomorrow, whether it is on friday, but putting the pressure on, we're also calling out to the consciousness of the 16 republicans that actually voted for the reauthorization of the voting rights act. where are they now? we're asking and calling to you stand in this space right now. it is not over until it is over.
