The Fantastic Two
Also unofficial and unsponsored by the Unicameral Youth Conference, the Fantastic Two consisted of Sen. Pena and Sen. Schoeneberger. The vague filibuster threat against all the other bills was given by the Fantastic Two, and though the threat was not to be taken seriously, it apparently created a panic in Group Thirteen, much to the amusement of the Fantastic Two. It was Sen. Pena and Sen. Schoeneberger who proposed the many amendments to LB 4, and while they dispersed after said bill, Sen. Pena went on to propose multiple amendments to LB 6.

Famous quotes containing the word fantastic:
“This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
