I did 18 hours on my feet with two bathroom breaks when I worked the election on Tuesday; I think I could do that long filibustering too if I prepared by not eating or drinking for a day or two first.
Minor quibble, can we not call it a filibuster since Booker wasn't doing it to actually block anything. It was a heck of a PR & fund raising stunt, but not a filibuster.
The longest I have ever stayed awake with an engaged mind was around 43 hours, and I was hallucinating by the end. I also got to enjoy bathroom breaks. That said, I’m confident I could do 12-15 hours. Let’s go wreck shit!
Gimme a diaper and my Hokas and I’ll smash that record (ftr this is insane bravado I would make it maybe 8 hours before either my knees or back would give out).
I think my issue would be peeing A) in public, while B) talking. But I'm giving myself twelve hours because I used to work in restaurants and I once managed to give a 45 conference presentation during a severe migraine (I had to do it with my eyes mostly closed).

In fact the second he finished a republican asked for unanimous consent on a Trump appointee, which no Democrat opposed.

A physically impressive publicity stunt that will be forgotten before taxes are due—the Democrats!
"urological mystery" lol

Fair point. I’d probably have to turn my back to the crowd to accomplish it.
