Rand Paul is going to make a lot of noise, then vote the way he is told.
The man should not be confirmed - ever.
Why is Paul fixated on the drones?
He's not fixated, he's just the only one asking any questions - about drones OR Benghazi. Do you see any other Republicans other than Cruz grilling this administration about anything?
As far as I'm concerned Rand and Ted are the only men left in D.C. The rest of the BOP cut off their own nards and handed them to obongo to put in a jar.
Brennan, and therefore obama, is advancing the idea that obama does have that power, via drone strikes this time, which is a direct violation of our Constitution.
I'll give him this. Rand Paul is the guy consistently standing up for the Constitution, regardless of who if any stands up with him, and by standing for the Constitution, he's standing up for every one of us.

From the article about Rand Paul's foreign policy speech:
“Proxy war was the heart of a successful containment policy,” said Smith. “Containment was a bloody, active affair.”
“From looking at Sen. Paul’s speech, we’re not quite talking about the same ideas of containment,” Smith added. “What containment means for him is the same as what it means for the most of the commentariat and probably most of the Obama administration. ‘Containment’ just means anything but the use of military force.”

It was infuriating to me to hear Rand Paul use the name Reagan. Reagan believed in Peace through Strength and that is why Iran released the 52 Americans they held hostage for 444 days the minute Reagan was elected! They knew he wouldn't think twice about using military force, something Ron Paul or Rand Paul would never do!
