The filibuster ended when Rand yielded the floor.

Senate returns to regular order. Turban stands in for Reid to adjourn the Senate until later today.

Thanks. Well...Rand yielded rather abruptly, but he was a warrior today.

I hope TigersEye is correct (post 721), but what I expect to happen is that Obama is going to pretend the filibuster never happened, other to say that Paul was politically grandstanding and that Holder had already answered the question in his hearing. Obama adm does this sleight-of-hand time and time again, owing to a corrupt media.

Already this note from a Freeper: “Just checked CNN.com, cbsnews.com, and msnbc.com. The Paul filibuster is a text-only sub-level headline that is not called out. You can hardly find out that this event took place. Amazing.”

Obama and Holder will issue some meaningless “meaningful” statements, and the Brennan confirmation will pass.

BUT, of even more significance, is that the Repubs may have awakened from their stupor to fulfill their Constitutional responsibility. It’s the Constitution, GOP stupids.

Bracing myself for tomorrow and praying!
