What real, concrete difference did Sen Paul’s filibuster make?

For crying out loud, the man stood up in the Senate and did exactly what we've been demanding for years---fight back----and here we have some people on this board who are actually trying to diminish his effort.

Jeez, give me a break!

Thanks for condemning what I wrote and not answering my query.

He did and for his effort he gets...credit.

But, the reality is he and a handful ain’t gonna be enough.

I really don’t think anyone is trying to diminish his effort, but we’re trying to reconcile what real good if any, did it do? What did he accomplish?

Nothing changed because of his effort, so now what?

Perhaps Paul’s vote for Hagel’s confirmation has colored our thinking....

Some people aren't going to be satisfied until the Republicans go "President Camacho" on the Senate floor. I would say to them - be careful what you wish for. Civil wars aren't things to be taken lightly, and if there is any opportunity to fight back using the existing rules - as Rand Paul did admirably yesterday - then that has to be tried first.
