Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

Some of you are missing my point. I'm not asking why Rand Paul filibustered Brennan. I'm asking why he didn't filibuster or oppose Hagel.

@hboulware But that isn't Brennan's job or area of expertise. It's Eric Holder's and, ultimately, Obama's.

@LilMissRightie Hehe...I must point out the flaming hypocrisy when I see it. And I'm seeing it. #glasshouserules

On a scale of 1 to 1,000 how problematic is #Hagel ? @SenRandPaul : "Maybe One" http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/15/rand-paul-brennan-drones-are-more-important-than-hagel/ … #No2Rand2016

If Rand Paul wanted a national discussion about drones, why didn't he filibuster HAGEL instead of voting to CONFIRM him? He was a YES vote.

Hagel is far worse than Brennan, and that is saying something. Why is Rand Paul filibustering Brennan but actually voted to CONFIRM Hagel?

This guys is such a dumb fuck.

Justin Raimondo ‏@JustinRaimondo
@kesgardner Yes, because Israel is so much more important than the Constitution.

That is the issue Rubio, you putz.

Rubio--keep water handy.

Rand--forced but good natured laugh.

Rubio is trying hard to jump on this bandwagon. He's really trying hard. Rand is the Defender of the Seperation of Powers (though Rubio didn't use that phrase--maybe he skipped Civics Class that day)...

Thread back. Sorry, clicked wrong check mark when I promoted it to FP/Twitter.

That freaked me out for a minute.

CNN: Sen. Paul joins Erin Burnett 7p ET.

Hmm was this prerecorded?

 

[rubioneocon]

@SenJohnMcCain How about you worry about the American people for a change and get on the floor to support @SenRandPaul's filibuster.

@JeffFlake I'd like to know why my Senator isn't on the floor supporting @SenRandPaul's filibuster, defending the Bill of Rights.

Jeff Flake (R-AZ)was part of the House Liberty Caucus with Ron Paul ya' know . . .

If Rand drinks water then he's going to need to pee at some point, are we sure he's getting bathroom breaks? This might decide how long he can keep it going

Called Roy Blunt (MO) office -- Ringed once and his assistant said he wasn't there since the D.C. offices were closed due to inclement weather. Asked if Senator Blunt had made any kind of statement or comment about Rand's filibuster in the Senate at the moment. He said he hasn't heard anything, but would pass on any information. I just said that I sincerely hope he is in alignment with what Rand, and a handful of other representatives are doing right now.

Oh great, here's Rubio milking some spotlight chances.

coming up on 5 epic hours...

 

[unknown]

Should we call our Senators and tell them to get in on this?

 

[awake]

The task now is to usurp and neutralize the riot leader position...In other words, to out Rand Rand Paul, then steer the nomination through.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

So Rand has been standing for almost 5 hours? Been there. Hurts for the first few, but at this point his legs are probably numb.

 

[brandon]

Rubio makes me feel really awkward. I hope he leaves now.

'We didn't ask you whether it was appropriate, we asked you if you think you have the power under the Constitution...'

'It's an easy question that if you have someone eating... in a restaurant, you have someone home in bed, then why can't we arrest them? And I think it's an easy question, and why won't the president just answer it?'

Yes!

I hope he's had breaks and can get to the bathroom. If not then it will not last long but i'm sure he can as there have been filibusters in the past for 24 hours, 16 hours etc and I dont believe they did it without breaks.

@JimDeMint: We should thank @SenRandPaul @tedcruz @JerryMoran @SenMikeLee for standing up for Constitution and due process.” And @ronwyden!

Jonathan (JB) Brown ‏@jb82185 Both @seanhannity & @codepink are encouraging their supporters to tell their Senators to #standwithrand on the #filiblizzard #isthisreallife

Justin Raimondo ‏@JustinRaimondo Rand Paul now quoting @ggreenwald.
