TPM reporter ----> RT @sahilkapur: I bet Senator Obama would've joined this filibuster if Bush were doing what he's doing now w/ drones.

I wish he would have mentioned Ron Paul supporters in the MIAC report.

Oh sheeeet, Rand just took the gloves off.

did he ever. holy "you might be a terrorist if..."

19 hours till the filibuster record

 

[UtahApocalypse]

fyi, fwiw . . .Rand had a break when Sen. Moran (R-KS) stepped up to the plate batting second for a while at about the 3 hour mark

I dont think he is allowed to leave the chamber.

He just peed all over Harry. He's good.

Considering he's now into his 5th straight hour, I wouldn't use the word pee right now!

We need to make this happen!!

Thank you Senator Paul for standing up for the rule of law. Reinforcements are the way! As Senator I would #StandwithRand

It's a tight rope walk.

Would love to see the Google Analytic on "Mr. Smith..." and "Rand Paul"...

Rand was showing as up trending for yesterday.

Hopefully he is texting his aides to bring him a catheter, a cheeseburger, and a copy of Carol's cookbook to read. As long as he keep it going into primetime, I will be happy. The effect and response has already been greater than I could have imagined.

Flipped through news channels real quick. CNN was the only one at the time talking about the filibuster, but as soon as I tuned in they changed the subject.

Guys, we can't let this moment die down after today. We have to somehow seize it and build momentum moving foward. Maybe bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. Just something to keep it going in the public's eye, no??

A filibuster is not an obstructionist act. It is an attempt at a deeper debate that should have been explored from the beginning.

Filibuster EVERYTHING..............

He ought to pee all over Reid's Senate desk when it comes time to relieve himself, if they won't let him have a pee break!

Then he was given a bottle/jug just like our stints as a civilian in the LA-Wadsworth VA Hospital operating rooms for the long cases -
really.

It will go into prime time. He planned this to get the maximum pre-game exposure. Kudos. He has played it well.

I noticed that too. They can't have this gain any momentum. So it's going to be up to us!

 

[ShaneEnochs]

Can someone explain the Mr smith thing to me really quick?

 

[ronaldo23]

its the central story on politico.com now too!

MSNBC is talking about it now. On Hardball.
