Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[unknown]

'No branch of government, no individual politician, should be above the law.'

'So I've been critical of both sides, thinking they have more power than they have.'

Time to expose the system.

 

[hammy]

How much longer do you guys think he'll go?

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Just imagine how different things would be if the Senate consisted of Bob Bennett, Charlie Crist, David Dewhurst, Trey Grayson, and even an Arlen Specter right now?

Scary to ponder.

i'm thinking at least going into primetime is the right move, so that it is going on while major news shows are airing on all networks, essentially forcing them to cover this heavily.

Shet - just - got - real.

At this point it matters little. He's kickin' ass!

'What--restrain the government, that sounds terrible. But that's what the Constitution was designed to do. It's not about restricting what you do.'

There can be no liberty if you combine the executive and the legislative. So if you allow the president to do drone strikes any time he likes...'

 

[FSP-Rebel]

Rand: Maybe we should be telling the President what to do re: drones

That'd be great stfu Obama you can't be trusted. Rand saves the day!

 

[TER]

May the Lord Jesus Christ bless Rand Paul, and may this day be memory eternal.

I just hope C-SPAN keeps airing this as long as it takes.

 

[phill4paul]

Is Rand repeating himself now? I'm fine with that for late comers. It just seems like I remember this exact talking point.

Reality Check tonight:Breaking down the Sen. Paul filibuster today on Capitol Hill. If you haven't watched, we'll break down what its about

 

[twomp]

I don't even know if I can sit and watch through all 5+ hours of this yet Dr. Rand Paul has been standing there the whole time. I am in awe of this man right now.

 

[supermario21]

You guys should seriously check out Cenk Uygur's twitter feed. Pretty eye-opening stuff.

I hope he can keep it up until 10-12 EST so all the cable shows and network news covers it

 

[acptulsa]

'But I don't think you'd have known when you voted for [war in Afghanistan] that you were voting for worldwide war that goes on forever, and in which the whole world, even America, is the battlefield.'

 

[Plague-of-Locutus]

I wonder if Rand might have one of them bladders strapped to his leg so bathroom breaks are a moot point.

when does Anderson Cooper 360 come on . . . pretty late, a couple more hours or so to go I guess . . .
he might pre-empt regular programming to cover this ?

I'm calling in to work since I did 5 12 hour shifts last week, my overtime from last week can cover me for tonight - I aint missing this for nuttin'

What makes anyone think they have to cover anything? Hell I thought the statement: "obama can use drones on american soil" should have been the top of the morning, first thing to be talked about. However, nothing was covered.

'If they will not tell you, no I will not kill Americans not involved in combat, if they won't confirm that, what they're saying is, yes I will kill Americans not in combat.'
