Live coverage ends.

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are! And good night to all Freepers!

[Brad’s Gramma]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the HECK didn’t the others HELP him!!!!!!!!!???????!!??

[Truth2012]

Wait a min.. what happened? I have to turn my computer off for two mins!

[samadams2000]

I guess they can’t start killing Americans until tomorrow.

[Chgogal]

It was a grand effort. About time the GOP is putting up a real fight.

[y2gordo]

Apologies for being ignorant of the rules, but is it possible for someone else to jump in tomorrow and do this whole thing again? Or is that what they were preventing with the business after he yielded?

[Girlene]

Not responding does look bad. It says the president holds out the right to kill Americans in the US according to some rules he finds appropriate. That’s beyond dangerous.

Yes, people will forget, but like you said, at least there are some people still in it...some still have principles.

[matt04]

Apparently some of the pages were caught clapping.

[Chgogal]

I don’t know. But McConnell showed up which surprised me.

[onyx]

Rand Paul was awesome!

We have to see what happens in the morning.

Mitch said he will oppose the cloture vote.

Good Night everyone!

God bless and keep you all.

[austinaero]

I hope Rubio stops every five minutes and takes a sip of water. hahahaha!

[Jane Long]

So, the clapping is what stopped this?

[thouworm]

I think the Dems have rotate someone to sit in the President’s chair.

Rand yields the floor at 12:39 am-EST -12 hours, 52 minutes.
~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry to see it end. Are you referring to some rule?

I don’t see how it could end unless Paul decided to end it.

No wonder Reid wanted to legislate the filibuster out of existence.

Durbin sent by the WH with cliff notes in hand.

Rand Paul was a warrior today!

[thouworm]

“Are the Senators finally ‘getting it’ that we have a domestic enemy in the White House?”

One can hope!

[Girlene]

Who needed imminent for OBL?

Durbin was mixing apples/oranges. osama in Pakistan vs. an american citizen in US

[MWestMom]

Well, Senator Paul certainly made his point. Will be interested to see what the talking heads make of this tomorrow. Good night all!

You don’t know my Yorkie. She can hear grass grow. :o)

Rand Paul yielded.....he had to go to the bathroom.
