LIVE on C-SPAN2: Senate Session

“Nothing ever happens around here.” (19:36 ET)
I am fascinated by this. I’ve never tuned into a filibuster before this.
I marvel at his rhetoric and ability to actually something useful - if you listen long enough.
“where is mcconnell?”
He is NOWHERE. It’s like he never existed during this filibuster. I don’t think I could have missed him if he spoke. Now, it’s possible he was on the floor but they didn’t pan the camera to ever see him. I would have thought he would be one of those asking questions of Paul so Paul could take a break.
“Homeland Security Drones Designed to Identify Civilians Carrying Guns”
If 0bama does respond to Rand he looks weak.
Brilliant!
I am pissed that C-Span is not showing this live right now on Comcast!
Call Comcast and make your voice HEARD!!
If another member comes to the floor to be recognized ( Lee, Cruz etc ) can he yield to them so they can take the ball, so he can hit the can , grab a nap and get an energy shake anc come back? I thought that was allowable in the old fashioned Filibusters?
Freepers bring me up to speed on this!
They are out to din din with Obama. A pox on them all.
In process.
Sen Lee is up now.
Bump dat!
Rand had to know of this dinner arrangement.
So he chose this time.
Interesting.
I did leave my living area one time - long enough to rush to car which is in parking space directly in front of my front door, and get TWO CHERRY TOMATO PLANTS OUT OF CAR TRUNK. Yes, I got them yesterday at Lowes when I also got some clay pots and more small bags of potting soil.
And, yes, I DIDN’T THINK TO TAKE CHEERY TOMATO PLANTS out of trunk when I got home so they spent the night in trunk. While watching/hearing Paul, it dawned on me the tomato plants were still in the trunk. Rushed out to get them and put them outside in sun in garden area. All told, maybe took four - five minutes to do that - that’s all of Paul I missed but the plants had to get out of trunk before I killed them.
Hi Marcella!
I just posted my comments to Senator’s Cruz and Paul on FB. I thanked Cruz for his wonderful words about the Alamo’s anniversary, for reading the tweets, for his fabulous exchange with Holder and for supporting Rand Paul. I told him he ROCKS! because he does! :)
I thought Rubio’s reminder about having water close by was clever and funny, too.
Also good on the Oregon Democrat Senator Wyden for speaking, too!
God bless Senator Mike Lee, from the great state of Utah.
