Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

Rand calling out President BO to explain the limits of executive privilege
keep going Rand . . .

Harry Reid has already been sent off looking for extra heavy duty Depends for tomorrow's possible vote

Fox Special Report is giving this a ton of coverage, lead story and cutting to the senate floor several times during broadcast, just had a panel discussion about the issue and is going to talk more about Rand after the commercial.

I'm liking the fact that he's sourced Wired.com several times.

As we enter 8th hour, looks like Paul filibuster may be ending. Staff just went to get a Dem leader

Harry Reid now in the chamber. Fat Lady warming up

I'm waiting for Rand to source antiwar.com or Justin Raimondo...LOL

I swear this is the second time I've heard Jane Fonda brought up.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

This can't be. Rand Paul is a neocon traitor. Daily Kos posters didn't say nice things about him in 2010, as they did with Ron Paul during his presidential runs.

'I'm not so fond of Jane Fonda. I'm not interested in putting her on a drone kill list, either.'

He's getting a Sense of the Senate Resolution? Or he's proposing one?

Ah. Proposing. Come on, Senate. Do it!

I think that was a quorum call. They're trying to drag the other Senators back to the chamber?

I would lose it if that were the case.

Options for modern filibusterers

Can he piss in a bottle?

Here are some of the options.

Wow, just got home from work and tuned in, and Rand is still going!

Krauthammer on Rand's filibuster: "Stroke of political genius"

Not me. I like Wired. Am glad he recognized the relevance of that particular demographic. Something I've spewed about thoroughly here.

That's what is so great.

Krauthammer on Rand's filibuster: "Stroke of political genius"

So now we know what their damage control will be. Downplay the issue, downplay the question, and play up the way Rand has put himself on the political map and made Rubio look like a piker.

And, no, TLG, nothing Krautheimie says is worthy of size five type.

 

[itshappening]

Krauthammer just said this will launch Rand as a national figure!

If Reid is still around I hope he keeps going

Waiting for Rand to start singing Love is a Battlefield.

 

[eleganz]

If you ask me...I say Rand is not going to stop.

Will no other Senator stand with him? How long until he collapses from exhaustion?

I thought in this day and age that Senators didn't actually have to get up and talk to "filibuster." Can someone please explain this briefly? Thanks.

Rand Paul: I opposed the Iraq war.

Suck it neocons, Ann Coulter and AM radio jagoffs. Mmm yeah.
