Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[acptulsa]

Where are the Rand haters right now?

Even Justin Raimondo is hopping on the bandwagon, at least temporarily.

All gathered in a smoke-filled room trying to figure out if damage control is possible.

Rand's Constitutional Damage Control!

'I think that's a mistake in policy to say that there's going to be a war with no limits, no geographical limits, not temporal limits... How do you end war?'

 

[UtahApocalypse]

So he cant tag team someone else for say an hour?

Nope. He could hopefully get an ally to ask a very long question and comment again to save his voice. He still cant sit or leave

"I got less than 15 votes when I submitted a recent resolution to end the Iraq War"

Anyone ever hear about this?

 

[radiofriendly]

Anyone able to reach Paul's staff? Make sure Sen. Rand Paul is reminded that he may have his biggest online/tv audience right now. Folks are just getting home from work and this is exploding on twitter/online. Pretty funny watching him eat in between reading - remind him that we are watching - keep educating folks - and maybe make a joke about the eating lol.

He should feel free to keep repeating himself because the audience is new constantly...it's not just us political nerds!

His staff is probably running on a 'high' right now.

 

[compromise]

Which Senator's phone can we light up???

Sens. Udall (D-OR), Coburn (R-OK), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Flake (R-AZ) haven't joined the filibuster yet.

If I were Rand, I would come to the senate floor wearing Depends. That would be True Badass.

The term "Rand haterz" is used by those that will not engage in a debate, a filibuster if you will, on the merits of Rand Paul. Either that or they are paid by opposition to create dissent in the liberty movement.

Now atop Drudge

Whose office is this? I see the obelisk in the background but can't tell if this is from the Capitol or the WH?

 

[bunklocoempire]

Wow. I am continually amazed.

How about RANDwagon?

"There's a billion Muslims in the world. Maybe the killing fields isn't the answer to this." ~Rand Paul

 

[libertygrl]

He's beginning to repeat himself now - he used the lawn mower quote earlier. Poor Rand! Someone bring him some Gatorade! Where are his aides????

 

[green73]

Just to be clear:

Rand cannot sit down, leave chambers, stop talking for much more then 30sec. The only exception is another Senator may interlude with a question. Rand cannot just give his time over to someone else. He is there until its over and he is done

Can he piss in a bottle? How did the record of 25 hours ever get set?

 

[supermario21]

A friend of mine called both of Ohio's Senators....Rob Portman does #standwithrand but Sherrod Brown, the "Ed Schultz" liberal of the Senate, is nowhere to be found.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

Wake up to be pleasantly surprised that Rand Paul is still going at it. Great job Rand!

 

[hammy]

Holy shit can we please get another senator to help him! GODDAMMIT

Anyone ever hear about this?

Here's the text:

SEC. 1230. REPEAL OF AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ.

The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243; 116 Stat. 1498; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) is repealed effective on the date of the enactment of this Act or January 1, 2012, whichever occurs later.

It got 30 votes but maybe he meant less than 15 Republican votes.
