Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[Matthew5]

Would love to see the Google Analytic on "Mr. Smith..." and "Rand Paul"...

Rand was showing as up trending for yesterday.

Is Rand remembering wrong or am I? I thought Carroll's 'Off with his head!' character was the Red Queen, and that was Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Saw There.

Well, even if he has it mixed up, it's a good analogy.

Hope he gets diaper rash.

I hope he gets snowed in.

Someone want to give the odds on there being a statement by Obama? Its funny now because if Obama gives a statement then he validates Rand. If he doesn't then keep this thing going as long as you have to.

Never happen. The AG is the only hope for a written response, and it won't come until at least tomorrow. They're now gonna let Rand see if he can take his stand through the night, wear him down, make him suffer.

Odds on him making it overnight? Very high.

Weigel on twitter is saying they changed the rules in the 70's meaning Senator who is filibustering cannot slip out for a bathroom break.

If that's the case it all depends on how long Rand can keep going but it's very sad as he should be able to have a break

He should step behind one of the chairs, pull out a bottle, piss in it, then walk back to the podium and put the bottle on the podium and keep talking. Rubio joke in there somewhere.....

If he literally cannot even take a five minute bathroom break, then I suggest Rep Amash get him a bottle of Fiji water to down, and then he can (ahem) stand there and refill it!

The power of Rand Paul:

A posting from a CNN blog commentor:

"I voted twice for Obama because i thought he would protect civil liberties and do away with the Bush tactics such as warrantless wiretapping, denial of habeas corpus and due process of the law. Obama has failed miserable to do anything on this front differently from Bush. Further, Obama has expanded these practices that I so hated Bush for. Even worse, nobody on the left seems to care.

For the first time in my life, I think I just became a Republican."

Wonder if Rand came prepared? Hope he's packing a catheter.

Guys, we can't let this moment die down after today. We have to somehow seize it and build momentum moving foward. Maybe bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. Just something to keep it going in the public's eye, no??

Calling Obama corrupt by quoting Lord Acton.

Fixed that for you.

Now he's sticking up for gun owners, cash users, and all kinds of individualists. And now onto the 2008 MIAC memo!

 

[chudrockz]

I have never been a Rand basher, more kind of on the positive side of the fence. But I gotta say his stock's shooting way up today!!

Oh sheeeet, Rand just took the gloves off.

He just peed all over Harry. He's good.

fyi, fwiw . . .Rand had a break when Sen. Moran (R-KS) stepped up to the plate batting second for a while at about the 3 hour mark
