Rand Paul, you're an eye doctor. The President has a law degree magna cum laude from Harvard law and taught constitutional law He knows more

I can't help but LOL.

I'm not on Twitter.

Can you pass along a message for me? Tell Marc I'll hire him the next time I need my boots licked clean.

I actually gave up Twitter for lent in the sense of no tweeting or retweeting. Gosh I'm so ticked about that, but at least I'll read the comments haha.

You're clearly misunderstanding why he's filibustering. It's not necessarily to deny final confirmation. It's to force the Administration to reveal and define policies so that we can have an open debate on them. This is exactly what he did with Hagel. There is no lack of consistency.

and it clearly puts into the public record Rand's stance and position on a range of issues - better than any position paper imho.

He was earlier calling out Brennan on the non-answers - I can get the time if necessary for verification anybuddy (PM me)
and somebuddy could get youtubes up eventually I imagine

I liked the part earlier Rand talking about Brennan's answers about drone strikes on American soil . . .
(paraphrasing accurately)
Brennan - It's a process
Rand - OK but is it due process ?

Anybody who underestimates Rand Paul will be making an enormous blunder.

Yes, people are actually taking notice.

I emailed earlier, but I decided to also call. Grassley's office sounded busy. I heard phones being answered in the background. The female aid who answered sounded upbeat when she thanked me and said she would pass along my request to support Sen Paul in his filibusterer and put pressure on the Obama administration over the use of drones on US soil.

He didn't actually speak on the Senate floor for three hours filibustering Brennan's nomination. I can't imagine that Rand will end up voting to confirm Brennan after speaking on the floor for three hours and filibustering his nomination.

[phill4paul]

Never have I been more proud of Rand.

Yeah, I had doubts about him, but this ensures my full support. The man is the real deal. God bless you Rand.

 

[EBounding]

Is there a better stream or audio only? It keeps cutting out for me.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

I hope, Sailing. It's pretty damn ridiculous that Rand Paul would have to stand alone. Especially on such a common sensical issue such as this. Wth is wrong with our Senate?
