Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[anaconda]

Did Bernie Sanders' 2010 filibuster get this kind of media attention?

 

[EBounding]

How insane are they for not giving in to this demand? I don't care how badly they want to bomb our asses. Where do they think this is going to end? How do they figure holding out is going to be a win for them?

I think there's two reasons: One, they don't want to relent to the will of a mere junior Senator from Kentucky. That's obviously going to backfire though the longer this goes on. Secondly, they want the drone language to be ambiguous in case they make any mistakes.

I'm so proud of this guy right now.

Beck discusses the forces of darkness and drone strikes:

Way to derail an epic thread with more BECK! Beck is against drone strikes! unless Israel wants it....

I regret not sending $ to Cruz's campaign - he definitely deserved the support of the liberty movement

Dewhurst would NOT be reading Rand Paul tweets on the floor.

Cruz now railing against the UN. I love it! I haven't heard about Medellin since Lou Dobbs used to trash him and the UN on CNN years ago!!

 

[ronaldo23]

I regret feeling uneasy about him. He is not like Rubio. He's a smart man, and he's his own man.

yeah, he's very intelligent. he was apparently the national debate champion during his time at harvard law. definitely shows in the way he talks and asks questions at committee hearings

Might be record number of #GOP house members on #Senate floor. They're lining the walls according to cloak room. Literally #StandWithRand

Wow. Epic!

Ted Cruz has proven that Ron and Rand's endorsement was well worth it.

 

[phill4paul]

The only way this can get better is if someone calls the White House and asks them if Obama stands with Rand!

I did. They told me I could not and would have to e-mail him.

 

[rockandrollsouls]

What Rand has done for the liberty movement tonight might be one of our most significant steps forward. Ted Cruz has really won me over, and I feel like Rand has just changed the debate and won over others in the republican party.

This is huge, people.

Dewhurst would NOT be reading Rand Paul tweets on the floor.

Dewhurst would be at dinner with the President right now, wasting his time.

the r3volution is being televised.

Shameless re-post!!!

We're at a tipping point, folks.

11 hours

 

[Spoa]

I like how Senator Cruz has been talking for the last 15 minutes. He is giving Rand a real good break. And now he is hammering President Bush and explaining how he has been willing to fight both Bush and now Obama.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

11 hours!

 

[green73]

I hope Rand can sleep standing up. #cruzsteppingup

 

[Brett85]

I've always pointed to you as a part of the problem. I stand by that. You are not FOR Rand. You are and have always been an agitator. People here know that. They +rep me all the time calling you out. I don't know who you think you are fooling. Piss off already.

I'm very much for Rand. You, on the other hand, are deliberately understating the difficulty of what Rand has accomlished today. Perhaps because you know that you can never live up to him, and you're nothing but an absolute joke and a complete fraud.

Sen Cruz (R-Texas) into the 11th hour of filibuster to block Brennan confirmation
shortly after acknowledging Code Pink

 

[PatriotOne]

I couldn't be more proud of Rand if I was his mother. I have a whole new opinion on Cruz also.

Do ya all feel the power shift? The air is thick with it.

Ted is a good speaker, and knowledgeable.
