[ronpaulfollower999]

Guys, if he's on our side, it's not nice to call him a moron.

don't know anything about Moran - where does he stand?

Senator Jerry Moran?

People are going to see how popular this is and try to cash in on it.

 

[compromise]

Moran is a pretty good guy. Opposed military intervention in Libya. Voted for the Rand Paul budget too.

decent comments from daily kos even!

Wow. Never thought I'd see another day when the GOP would send some statesmen to Congress who would stand their ground and better liberals on Civili liberties. This is pretty promising.

LOL at Rubio just tweeting this:



He's on the Intelligence Committee and he didn't question Brennan one time about this.

Seriously? LOL

He hates people who can't spell 'moron'.

He voted against the Military Commissions Act, so he does have some libertarian leanings. I voted for Moran over Tiahrt since Moran was at least a little bit more civil liberties oriented than Tiahrt.

I wonder if Rand was prepared for this to blow up so big. Watershed moment.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Moran pointing out that Obama has already been slapped down by the Supreme Court for unconstitutional action (i.e. Obama trying to appoint people by saying the Senate was not in session).

3:34 -- Paul, Lee, and Cruz throwing questions back and forth. They can keep this going for a while. Read Kevin Glass's write-up on some of the conservative writers Paul mentioned--Kevin Williamson and Conor Friedersdorf--and why he's filibustering.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

Rand is such a Beast!!! This man is shaking DC to its core and won't let up. I'm completely blown away!!!!

 

[rubioneocon]

Let Senator Moran question so that Rand can explain particulars.

Rand yields to Senator Moran without giving up the floor . . .
this is great stuff folks

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

He hates people who can't spell 'moron'.

 

[Matthew5]

Moran asked Rand if there was a logical difference between a drone and a military member shooting someone point blank on the street!

 

[itshappening]

Rand will not yield the floor except for questions.

I hope he was able to get out for a break when Lee and Cruz were making long statements/questions
