Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[phill4paul]

Rand slipped up against Durbin, but that's to be expected. This is going on 13 hours. I have no idea how he's still standing.

WTF are you talking about? Are you watching the same news feed?

Yes, he gave him a "touche" and said he made a good point, but his point about Osama was bullshit and Rand just couldn't reciprocate quickly. Not saying he didn't eventually respond well, just a slip up. Not that big of a deal.

Cruz is handling it well.

 

[ronaldo23]

wow was not expecting that bin laden response from ted cruz...well done!

 

[AuH20]

Cruz is a legal assassin. Pardon the pun.

 

[devil21]

Yup, good on Cruz. I never knew about this Cruz or this Lee, will have to do research.

Get with the times bro!

I don't know much about Cruz but I do remember that a lot of TX Paulites worked for his campaign as part of a Tea Party coalition. Or at least it was claimed that they did. Any TX people know the real scoop on that?

Fwiw, I'd support a Paul/Cruz ticket.

Outside of Rand obviously, Ted Cruz has been the highlight of this filibuster.

 

[acptulsa]

I think we now have to think of this as the Paul/Cruz filibuster. The junior Senator from Texas has definitely been pulling his own weight tonight.

 

[thoughtomator]

word has it that the establishment has decided to line up behind Senator Paul and is asking all GOP Senators to get up there

 

[deadfish]

Cruz control...

Seriously, starting to like this guy... what the hell!?

 

[bunklocoempire]

Hmm... Seems kinda easy to lead these sheepish Senators?

You know how those politicians can be always jumpin' on a good thing.

Senate staff asked me to move to the left to get out of camera shot. I don't move to the left. #StandWithRand

Think it's time to wrap it up.

 

[Spoa]

I think that Senator Rand Paul is closing now.

 

[bolil]

hahahaha....that's awesome

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

PSYCHE... itll be funny if he trolled the entire senate.

 

[NOVALibertarian]

Rand revealed that the Emperor (or in this case, the President) has no clothes. The jig is up, ladies and gentlemen.

God bless this man.

Why?
