[yoe]

LIVE on C-SPAN2: Senate Session

[EDINVA]

Rand Paul called his arguments red herring which is EXACTLY what Durbin’s argument was. Happy to see them not let him conflate the issues.

[KansasGirl]

Ron Johnson now.

[TArcher]

Now go away Dick, or we shall taunt you a second time!

Top 10 Best Things About Rand Paul’s Filibuster

I will speak until I can no longer speak,” said U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, Kentucky Republican. “I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.”

Paul shoots down Turban—AGAIN. The white paper on overseas rules is NOT acceptable here in America.

Ron Johnson from WI takes the floor.

Johnson says he can’t believe the question being asked hasn’t been solved in a half hour.

[MWestMom]

Rand Paul made more sense and was more articulate after 11 hours of filibustering than Dickey Durbin waltzing in freshly powdered and glowing.

[Toespi]

This clown has Imeitis.

[Girlene]

Maybe Hitler?

Ron Johnson, Wisconsin up now.

[KansasGirl]

Ron Johnson talking budget issues.

[TigersEye]

Turbin came to a battle of wits with a pair of safety scissors. He should have hid under his desk. lol

[MWestMom]

I really wish Johnson would stay on topic and shame on him for going to dinner with Obama when he could have been on the floor standing with Rand Paul and the American people.

[EDINVA]

I don’t think the WH and the Senate Dems were ready for this. They’ve been caught with their pants down (so to speak).

[conservativebabe]

It’s simple. This is getting a lot of attention and the narcissistic whores in the Senate want in on the action. NO DOUBT they know this is causing a groundswell of support from the conservative base and they want to be able to say they were on the right side of it.

They suck. And they aren’t fooling anyone.

[Truth2012]

Ron Johnson totally frustrated at his job. He is rambling - but I guess that is ok.. right? They got the time to fill.

[TigersEye]

Those are horns? I thought they were donkey ears.

[Girlene]

Ron Johnson talks about democrats “war on women” chage - not true. What is true is that Washington is waging a war on our children. (okay, not sure what this has to do with the drones, but it’s a good point).

We have passed 12 hours.

[RightWingMama]

Ron thinks the president was”sincere”. (Sigh)

[Sequoyah101]

Why watch delayed?

I’m wondering how real it may be that not just history but significant history is unfolding in front of us. I’m praying.

Are we seeing hangers on show up understanding what may be happening?

[clintonh8r]

I sent an email to Rubio urging him to participate. I hope he shows up.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I bet His Excellency the Grand Poohba is watching this in the family quarters at the WH. Question: When does Obama put his foot down, say ENOUGH, suspend the Constitution on national TV, and send up Federal Marshals to forceably shut down the US Senate and arrest the U.S. Senators to stop the filibuster, so he can have his drones in the air from sea to shining sea to kill fellow Americans without jury or any other due process? This is serious stuff, I really mean it.

This White House is not answering simple, important Constitutional questions from the Legislative Branch, because they are hiding something BIG and they have a horrid plan toward average Americans who would stand up to their fascism in the future. This smells like Germany 1934.
