So John Boehner has been talking on the floor of the house for going on an hour now. When he started he had 4 or 5 minutes left to his side, to close on the discussion of the Waxman-Markey bill (ACES). Boehner is taking advantage of the tradition that the leaders have unlimited time to speak on the house floor, so Boehner will be able to speak for as long as he likes, although, by rules he only had 4 minutes of time left.
