Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[RonPaulFanInGA]

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

It'll be weird if McCain and Graham show up...

 

[Spoa]

Rand Paul talks about Henry Clay and Catius Clay...reminds me of his maiden speech (his first senate speech).

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

should've called graham and mccain out during this. lol.

 

[acptulsa]

NO RAND DON"T GIVE UP.

What give up? He embarassed the snot out of the president and attorney general, gave Reid and Durbin all the rope they could ever need to hang themselves (and they did), and gave a bully pulpit to our rising stars of the liberty movement. And he showed himself to be in a completely different league from Rubio. Honestly, the mission is accomplished.

He gotta pee!

Massie says there was joking around on the floor about getting Paul the “Stadium Buddy,” a catheter system which attaches around the leg.

Something like this?

This seems workable if he keeps it behind a podium and acts nonchalant while using it.

 

[Spoa]

jokes that he has to go take care of one of the limits to his filibuster. THANK YOU RAND PAUL!

 

[devil21]

Keep it going until 12:45 so its a full 13 hours!

 

[hammy]

Holy shit, heavy weight champion Rand Paul just embarrassed the entire establishment.

 

[Vessol]

Rand just said he was going to end soon.

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Shade under 13hours...

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

Nice touch to mention that he would have tried to go for beating Strom Thurmond's record. Currently reading a book on Thurmond and his party switch, so that stuck out to me.

13 hours

 

[kcchiefs6465]

And the people clap louder.

 

[Nirvikalpa]

E-P-I-C.

 

[AuH20]

Meanwhile at the White House..................................

 

[RockEnds]

Thank you, @SenRandPaul. You are an American hero. You've stood up for liberty of all Americans. We've been honored to #StandWithRand.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

That was amazing

 

[Spoa]

And now the fight begins...call and urge your senators to vote NO on the cloture nomination of Brennan tomorrow!
