Without Obama’s support this is doomed to fail but it is going on live right now. You can thank Barack Obama for the failure of this filibuster when the bill goes through and gives Bush everything he wants. I find it very interesting that there’s no media coverage of this to be found anywhere.
UPDATE: This was not a filibuster at all, just late-night lengthy speeches intended to (very slightly) stall the Senate process this week. Dodd and Feingold want to delay the vote until after the July 4th recess, but I think that Reid and Obama (by his intentional inaction) are going to shove it through before that.
