LIVE on C-SPAN2: Senate Session

[exit82]

11:02 PM EST

11 hours and fifteen minutes.

Cruz doing a great job, giving Paul a rest.

[Sequoyah101]

We are like drowning men reaching for anything that floats.

I’m loving Cruz’ oratory tonight though. He is saying what needed to be said for soooooo loooooong. He is fighting back. I’m so happy to see this I’m tearful. It is at least a gallant effort.

I may even Tweet or something I never do.

[Rome2000]

Republicans are the blue blood country club banker faction of the Washingtonians, and Democrats merely the communist faction of the Washingtonians.

It's us outside the Beltway against the Washingtonians from both parties.

It's time to stop looking to DC for solutions to the problems those degenerate sons of bitches in DC have created in the first place.

Its time to think about ways to accelerate the collapse because only then can the Republic be reset and the Franchise limited as the Founders intended.

Nothing comes from DC other than higher taxes and more restrictions on our freedoms no matter which faction is in charge, the sooner that truth is publicized by the conservative media, the better.

European Kings and Queens moved their courts to different parts of their realms for obvious reasons, yet our masters in the political class have remained entrenched on the Potomac for 200 years and extort trillions of dollars annually from the productive class.

We in the productive class are now all slaves to DC and the Federal apparatchiks in Maryland and Virginia.

The greatest threat to the Liberty and Prosperity of the productive class are not a bunch of demented ragheads in the middle east, but the Federal apparatus.

Ted Kennedy (Suffer in Hell you degenerate MF) not only managed to murder Mary Jo Kopechne but is responsible for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ensured that white non comsymps would be the minority in terms of future immigration to the USA.

Since nobody seems to have a clue in the GOP that this is a problem and much less intends to do anything about it, the war is lost and the collapse is inevitable.

The Washingtonians from both parties intend to steal everything not nailed down from those outside DC and then bug out under military protection when the collapse comes and the riots start.

An electorate that elected Clinton and Obama twice and gave algore the popular vote is no different than the Venezuelans and Cubans electing Chavez and Castro; stupid and dangerous.

It's all over but the shouting for the 1st American Republic, it is predictably self destructing due to the imposition of Universal Suffrage.

Honest Ape mortally wounded the Republic when he brutally attacked and murdered the sons of the Founders, the last 150 years have been merely death rattle.

I knew it-—I just knew it. Toomey, when he “spoke” hours ago, seemed rather hurried (and I joked up thread) that he was rushing to make his dinner date w/Soetaro.

He is not in the same league w/Paul, Cruz or Rubio.

Just damn.

[MWestMom]

We need to email our Senators and tell them to get their butts over there and help Cruz and Paul.

[samiam1972]

I’m here but usually just check the headlines. We’re working harder for the same pay and my brain just doesn’t function enough at night for me to be witty. I’m too tired! That may be the case for many on FR. We’re not gone. Just quietly working our tails off at becoming more self sufficient.

[Girlene]

Thanks, thouworm. No wonder he’s doing such a great job with that background.

[thouworm]

also good article in 442.

I wonder, have any filbusters in history, approaching this length, stayed ON TOPIC like this one has?

Thurmond at least read founding documents.

[Hieronymus]

Morse was holding up a bill on tide lands. A good Oregon issue.

[Marcella]

“Where is my RINO Cornyn? Has he come out of the grass?”

He has been to the floor to support Paul. In my opinion from having known Cornyn for years, he is not a RINO. When he was Texas Attorney General, he gave an opinion that saved me from our Democrat District Attorney who wanted to force me to resign as the Judge of the Early Voting Ballot Board. That opinion will always be used if that problem comes up again.

[Girlene]

I’m trying to catch up—where is Senator Paul? Sitting and getting to eat something I hope.

I think I heard him snoring....j/k Guess he's getting a rest.

[Jane Long]

Shame on these 12 Senators!! I just called Ayotte's office today and said what a disappointment to see how she's cozied up to McShame and Linda, as I'd supported her in the 2010 Tea Party wave she rode in on.

Every Republican Senator should #StandWithRand.

[Dysart]

Paul and Cruz each have good minds, and that’s a refreshing change for emerging GOP leadership. I sensed earlier today watching a video of Cruz’ s investigation into this administration’s shenanigans that the holder did not want to go toe-to-toe with Cruz in a battle of wits. The sum and result of the inquiry revealed that the injustice dept is looking for wiggle room on the issue of hunting down Americans here at home if a crisis arises, and we know how they deal like to deal with those.

I hope this forum doesn’t go down the birther road with Cruz; it would be a huge mistake. Not that I’ll entertain it.

According to someone on twitter.....they have "support"... Melissa Clouthier ‏@MelissaTweets RT @toddstarnes: GOP Reps in back of chamber for moral support: Gohmert, Gosar, Huizinga, Burgess, Rothfus, Barr & Bridenstine

Domestic drones to hunt gun carriers in America for Homeland Security

The Department of Homeland Security has an unmanned drone fleet with technology that can root out civilians who are carrying guns, government documents show.

“I am very concerned that this technology will be used against law-abiding American firearms owners,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation, in a Breitbart report. “This could violate Fourth Amendment rights as well as Second Amendment rights.”

The Predator B drone fleet has also been designed to track cell-phone signals, Breitbart reports.

The information about the fleet came to light via a Freedom of Information request from the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Breitbart said.

Thanks!

4 am....oh lalala...Don’t think I can stay up for that. I’m going to watch in bed as long as I can.

Rubio now up.

[exit82]

Agree with you—Cruz is a gem.

And I would publicly like to thank Sarah Palin for supporting Ted Cruz over Dewhurst.

Sarah Palin—the woman who Dowd, Schmidt and Wallace think is not ready for primetime and never will be.

Cruz asks a question of PAul:

“What in your judgment,is America, without liberty?”

At 11:12 pm, Paul takes back the floor.

There are men standing behind Rand Paul, but not sure who they are.

Marco Rubio back up now.

[Truth2012]

God bless Senator Marco Rubio, from the great state of Florida.

[goodnesswins]

Rubio up now

[goodnesswins]

TWITTER....this is GREAT idea.....Amy Lutz ‏@amylutz4

Now @marcorubio needs to take the floor and repeat Rand's entire monologue in Spanish. #filibuster
