Any of the 100 Senators could pull the same stunt, but only Johnson, who still hasn't caught on that he's in the minority and really has very little power, says he's ready to throw a monkey wrench into the works.


Makes us proud, ain'a?


Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid shut Johnson's one-man filibuster down pretty quickly, Roll Call reports.
