Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) took to the Senate floor today to filibuster President Obama’s nominee for CIA director, John Brennan, as well as to challenge the administration’s policy on drones. Paul began speaking at approximately 11:47 this morning, and we will keep updating this post with highlights from the senator and others.

I just called my Republican Senators and encouraged them to join Rand Paul in this effort. I hope everyone will do the same.

A Republican with a pair. How refreshing to see!

He is getting tired, hope another senator shows up soon to ask him a really long question.

You watch how the old guard deals with the young guns stealing their spotlight.

McMee, Grahamnasty,McConnell et al will roll out some sellout like Amnesty or Gun Control in the next day or two so someone (prestitutes)
will pay attention to the fossils.

Great! I read that Rubio was there too, can anyone confirm? We need to keep tabs on who has the guts to stand up and take action.

just did the same thing for our sen burr from NC...no point in calling hagan from NC she is like the loser in the white house...but sen burr is probably already in bed...only hear anything from him every 6 years or so...sadly Americas last stand for the Constitution

[RWGinger]

Yes Rubio participated
Lee, Cruz, Rubio Cornyn and a Dem Wyden all gave him a break as they asked him really long questions

this is incredible and I couldn’t be prouder of people who are not willing to let 0dumbo shred our constitution

It’s certainly refreshing to see a republican acting
like a Republican.
He moves up a notch in my estimation.

[RWGinger]

I am so impressed with the planning he and his staff did
he has referenced many articles and a ton of real facts on this subject
he has been seaking for 4.5 hours and he is still relevant.

I hope MEM reports this fairly instread of making this seem like a stunt

[tet68]

I imagine there will be a transcript somewhere,
should make interesting reading.

Restore the Constitution!

[Bronzy]

Oh, really, Wyden.? Missed that but have been checking it every so often. A lot of good information being said.

[VRWCarea51]

Right on cue guess who is having dinner meeting with
Zero tonight. It’s a Rino stampede at the White Hut!

Nothing good is gonna come out of this! Freaking McCain and Graham nasty are there! I bet it is either gun control or Open Border sellout.

[VRWCarea51]

Someone should send em a link to Cspan feed of Sen. Rand and tell then those are the actions of Patriots. Not breaking bread with the enemy!

[RWGinger]

Yes
I think we are seeing that

Now a Kansas Senator is asking a long question
Hoof for Senator Moran

[RWGinger]

I mean to say Hooray
not Hoof
