Rand mentioned the Constitution party and other third party folks being listed. He won't add the example I would: how about a two domestic terrorists who had been through the legal system, one convicted and had served time, the other admitted guilt but was freed by legal technicalities. Both were unrepentant and continued to advocate terrorism. They hold a meet and greet for a political friend who was running for office. Could that meeting be a constitutional drone target intending to prevent possible terrorism by the hosts or their various friends in attendance.

Can we start thinking of questions that can help?

Will there be Freepers that can go overnight and support him?

In foregone times MSM would be suspending normal programming and carrying this live!

Instead the msm is droning on (no pun intended) about how this will impact Paul's political capital. They honestly don't know how to talk about anything but elections. Little minds spinning teensy webs, so sad.

What was the resolution he tried to introduce? That the senate strongly did not agree with drone strikes on American soil? The dems’ wouldn’t even vote on it to end the filibuster.

4700 people killed by drone strikes? How many of those were under Bush? Five?

Longest Filibuster in modern history was about 24 hours in 1957 by Strom Thurmond.

Maybe he could bring up Bill Ayers and Dorn, the weather underground would or could be on the drone strike list like his mention of Fonda. Obama’s own friends would be on the list.

Two of the top five are from the 80’s. Wayne Morse, my ideal Senator, (I grew up in Oregon) holds the number three spot with 22 hours and change.

Rand Paul hashtags have been dominating Twitter all day. Kind of incredible when you stop and think about what usually trends on Twitter.

I think Rand is taking a bathroom break.

another hashtag #filablizzard. I think the #standwithrand is THE one to use. lol, Paul was able to retweet comments while filabustering.

Ironic that a Noble Peace Prize winner won’t guarantee he won’t using drones on Americans. #standwithrand

Thanks for report!

“I think Rand is taking a bathroom break.”

See post 169. I’m not certain whether he *can* take bathroom break.

It’s the modern version of the bags of telegrams dumped on the Senate floor in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
