And now you're gonna need some eyebleach, too ...

I looked for that lemon party gif but came up empty.

This has been an emotional day for us supporters of Paul and the rule of law! Just want to raise a glass to my brothers (includes sisters) in arms for the cause of Freedom!

I've learned over the years here to not be so invested in politics (following Jesus is way more scary/interesting), but tonight isn't for big debates--it's a tiny victory for justice against the oppressors of the oppressed. Hazzah!!

McConnell didn't amend the bill. He filled the amendment tree. It's a procedural tactic to block other Senators from offering amendments and only his amendments can be voted on. His amendments probably won't pass and the Senate will likely pass the bill unamended.

He brought up stuff about the military budget, a beer week observance and an appointments bill. It wasn't all about NSA.

It looked shady but maybe it's standard procedure. Dunno. Though the President acknowledged "seconds" that didn't exist and counted McConnell's silent and sole "aye" votes as passing whatever he was offering up.

These Senators are retarded, they want to yap yap yap about doing the right thing and getting the proper legislation passed at the right time and they use this time to bullshit about how sorry they are for Joe Biden. There is a time for legislation and there is a time for mourning outside of the session.

C'mon, Joe is important.

Since the vote next week will essentially be to reinstate the Patriot Act, does that mean that the house will have to vote on the USA Freedom Act again as well?

If the Senate Amends it, the House will have to vote on concurrence.

And Rand Paul did it.

So what's about to expire now? The "FREEDOM" Act?
