Is there a tube of the exchange with McCain?

Here's Rand's five minute speech in all its glory. This is one of his best speeches ever.

Those five minutes may become the most meaningful period of time in recent history.

From that:

The Senate galleries are filling up too with even more spectators in “Stand With Rand” t-shirts.

glad to hear he is getting some visible mundane support in the booths.

that's a Fox News Sunday replay from this morning

What are they voting on right now?

Whether to limit debate on extending the PATRIOT Act. Currently: 76 yes, 16 no (only 60 votes were needed, so debate will be "limited")

Fuke Fox News. You gotta remember their owner is an avid Hillary supporter; so they will strike down any candidate that will give her an honest run for her money.

Basically McDonnell admitted that the Patriot Act is dead and is now willing to move on. They are getting votes to stop debate on reauthorizing the patriot act and move on to debate the USA freedom Act. I don't know if Rand will get his debate and amendments but that is ultimately what he wants.

So if all goes according to plan, the Patriot Act will indeed DIE.
