Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[anaconda]

There won't be enough Senators there for a vote. They would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

If Rand should decide to go for the record, it would take him up to almost noon.

The ACLU is backing Rand on this.

RT @IsaacDovere: Jon Stewart voices his support for Rand Paul filibuster.

Welp...

This was obviously well planned out. Look at the speech Cruz had written! Was part of the plan for this to be Cruz' "coming out" party? Appeal to Goldwater to get true conservatives, and documenting his opposition to Bush to gain "Reagan democrats" or moderates. Brilliant.

Agreed.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Wow, look at the people standing at the back.

 

[PatriotOne]

Wow. Take a look at how fast twitter is moving on Stand w/Rand. Some guy Youtubed it.

Cruz is doing quite nicely. Here's Rand again. You go Rand, don't stop.

It is quite possible Rand Paul just made himself the most powerful ad ever aired, and he got it for free.

 

[Murray N Rothbard]

Should Rand go for the record, it would take him up to almost noon.

I think he began the filibuster at 11:45 with exactly that in mind.

good god Rand is an animal. If this doesn't mark even a sliver sucess then this country is hopeless.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Blech, the Rubio POS. Such an idiot and a sellout.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Oh look, Rubio's back.

 

[green73]

RUBIO

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Here comes Rubio to Bogart another 15min...

 

[asurfaholic]

ick.

 

[NOVALibertarian]

Rubio's still awake!

 

[Kords21]

Rand reminds me of Rocky in the first Rocky in his fight with Apollo Creed. He just won't go down. Rand will go the distance

 

[Origanalist]

Booooooooo, Rubio gets the floor (temporarily)

 

[TokenLibertarianGuy]

Rubio is back

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Eh, I don't know Rubio's motivations but at least he's giving Rand some more breathing room.
