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

Bahahaha!

That democraft Durbin seems like a fine fellow. Is he the only democrat who has the balls to oppose obama [D]?

Uh....wut?

 

[Karsten]

so 12 hours no piss?

 

[acptulsa]

Good night patriots. Tomorrow we awaken in a new world

Indeed.

All those years Ron Paul wasted in a body that didn't allow for a filibuster...

When they die, I hope we are allowed to bronze Cruz's tongue and Paul's bladder.

WTF are you talking about?

He was the only Democrat who had the balls to sound exactly like Dubya, Cheney or Limbaugh. Is that close enough for you?

 

[bunklocoempire]

It's on the record. Nice job folks thank you!

I hope you mean Ron Wyden...

 

[itshappening]

i think it's unfair that you can't slip out to the bathroom, one way around it would be to use a tube and a bag then hand it off to an aide...

 

[PursuePeace]

Thank you, Rand.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

That's why it ended? Couldn't he have urinated on McCain's desk?

Either that or Durbin's but yeah, he stated that as a reason he was going to yield the floor. No one will beat the 24 hour record since they changed the rules on bathroom breaks.

great job Rand !

McConnell is extending Rand's filibuster http://tinyurl.com/arj87kc #StandwithRand

but caution, this is the account we think was hacked, which is an issue since LibertyPAC is Ron's. The article attached seems legit though, since there will need 60 votes to confirm Brennan.

 

[V3n]

Did it change anything? Does it matter? He didn't see it through til tomorrow.. will it all be the same tomorrow?

 

[No Free Beer]

WHY DID RAND STOP!?

Benton, you magnificent bastard.

Im not completely up to date on this issue, but Im no fan of Brennan so I approve of anything that gets in the way of his nomination. Unfortunately, I dont think this will, and wonder if its meant to.

So far all I hear from the live feed is complaints that the administration wont answer one freakin question.
What about Brennan's previous withdrawal from consideration for CIA director? What about the power he has already had on this issue as Obama's counter terrorism adviser?
This all seems kinda grandstandish to me so far.

wtf ? u r not even allowed to take a bathroom break during this ? really ?

WHY DID RAND STOP!?

He needed to go to the restroom really badly is my guess. It's fine...he proved his point. I don't want him falling over from fatigue or distress...we need him for future fights.

That's right. It's a dumb rule but it is the rule. If Rand had left, Durbin could take over easily.
