Democratic Senator Cory Booker set a record for the longest speech in the US Senate history, surpassing 24 hours as part of a passionate protest against actions by President Trump that Booker considered to be “unconstitutional.” The Senator stayed standing throughout the entire marathon speech, drawing parallels with a memorable scene from the 1939 film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.”
