Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

I just got power back so missed this. Is it worth a listen? In other words, anything new? No way I'm going through a bunch of pages here.
Yes . . . worth a listen imho

Rand has got his second wind after Cruz comments . . .
Rand states he had to learn that certain quote as a Texas schoolboy.

Rand yields to Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon without giving up the floor . . .
Wyden says he will vote yea on Brennan
 
I picked the wrong day to try to get some work done.

Heading to Senate floor to #StandWithRand. As a House member, I can't join filibuster, but I want to witness this awesome effort. #liberty

Rand Paul is leading a filibuster that has been going on since 11:47 Eastern time [just over four hours] Ted Cruz and Mike Lee joined the effort. Moran [R Kansas* - I don't know why I typed Kentucky] joined. The first democrat has just joined. [Ron Wyden D Oregon] Rand Paul isn't giving up the floor.

ETA: They want the answer to whether or not the president feels he can kill an American citizen non-combatant on US soil. The whole thing has been epic. Rand Paul is on point!

Check out Drudge to get a feel for how historic this is. Rand is on fire like never before seen and Cruz said on behalf of all Texans that those who died at the Alamo would be happy to call Rand a brother.
 
Let Wyden talk away . . .
GOP Senators will be able to then get yielded by Rand without giving up the floor over the news hours and the political talk shows time slots . . .
this Alamo anniversary day will be Rand Paul Day in the national media . . . they won't be able to avoid it

Senator Wyden joining filibuster????

Not exactly. Wyden is lisping his ass off in an attempt to provide himself, Rockefeller, Brennen, and even Obama cover. He's trying to make it look like one big happy family.

In other words, Rand has gotten a lot of attention and pushed all the right buttons. And now it's ass-covering time.
