Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

Krauthammer on Rand's filibuster: "Stroke of political genius"

Do you have Harry Reid being shut down? You'd make my day, as well as the others who have missed it.

 

[acptulsa]

If you ask me...I say Rand is not going to stop.

They can shut him right up. All they have to do is confirm that the president will uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, and Rand will have to end his filibuster on the spot.

They haven't done it. That's the mind-boggling thing about all of this. Are they so enamored of their drone strikes that they refuse to give them up? Or are they simply unwilling to set the precedent of one lone senator with a conscience and a soul shutting them down?

 

[V3n]

He's planning something... He's waiting for someone to enter or someone to leave or something!

Just mentioned al-Awlaki dining at the Pentagon and the underwear bomber. Alex Jones is proud.

Erin Burnett covering this leading off. She says Rand was supposed to be on the show but is still talking on senate floor, then went to an empty shot of a camera setup in capitol building, lol.

 

[jct74]

LMAO, Shepard Smith just showed shot of Rand trying somewhat unsuccessfully trying to shove a Snickers down his throat.

whats going on

This Rand Paul guy is filibustering something.

I think the rules have been changed since then which is unfair. I believe they used to be able to slip out to the bathroom and let someone take over for a while

you yield to a colleague like Sen. Moran at the 3 hour mark without giving up the floor officially -
and get a staffer with a quart size gatorade bottle or whatever

Ron on Facebook:

I'm proud of my son's efforts today to shed light on this administration's destructive and dangerous drone policy.

Can we all recognize how brilliant this filibuster is? It doesn't make sense for a politician to endlessly protest a nomination of a CIA director... so the MSM has to report the truth. That Rand is protesting illegal drone bombings. EXPOSE THE BASTARDS, RAND. WE STAND WITH YOU.

Something for everyone in here. Now talking about Fusion Centers.

Hopefully there will be some highlight clips of this later. I missed most of it. Sounds like he's been doing an amazing job from what I'm reading though.

 

[compromise]

Mark Kirk should join and ask a few questions, he's in the Senate building at the moment and gave Rand an apple earlier in the filibuster.

And he's already +8700 since last night.

That's a bigger jump than Rubio got from giving the SOTU response.

Cenk Uyger praising Rand on Current right now. Saying prog Dems would have been on fire if this were the Bush admin.

Actually said, "at least someone is standing Ho against it."

I swear this is the second time I've heard Jane Fonda brought up.

At least three times.

I want all of you here... All of you who stayed on and kept pushing after 07/08 and were dedicated to making this a true revolution and not just one campaign... I want all of you to stop what you are doing and think back to all those times you thought you were wasting your time and thought about leaving and giving up. THIS is why you stayed and THIS would not have happened without you. THANK YOU!

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

And so it's drawing to a close.

 

[supermario21]

Here we go, it's ending. I think.
