Literally. A one man old fashioned filibuster. He's already repeating himself and is expected to talk until....well I guess until he can't talk anymore.
This is going to get really interesting.

Posted: 3/6/13 at 7:09pmI hate him and all he stands for, but good for him for actually filibustering instead of the symbolic filibustering that happens now.

Posted: 3/6/13 at 7:11pmI find him offensive and despicable.

Of course he is. That's why I can't wait to see what offensive, absurd, and surreal things he says after 4 or 5 hours. You just know he's going to go off on some wild tangent.
The soundbites from this are going to be amazing.

Posted: 3/6/13 at 7:16pmBut why are you submitting yourself to 4 or 5 hours of Rand Paul? It is a sin to waste that time of your life on that.

Posted: 3/7/13 at 6:32amI disagree with him on virtually everything, but I respect him for this.

Posted: 3/7/13 at 8:35amI didn't watch. Did Paul say that if he had been president, he would have relieved the drone of their duties?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 3/7/13 at 9:01amIt's sad that it had to be a nutjob like Rand Paul to do this. Where are the bold, progressive Democratic senators?

Posted: 3/7/13 at 9:15amA couple of years ago, Bernie Sanders filibustered the tax deal. he spoke for eight and a half hours.

I <3 Bernie Sanders. Bernie caucuses with Democrats but he's really a Socialist.

Posted: 3/7/13 at 10:06amI can't stand Rand Paul. Isn't there some sort of unmanned flying death machine we can send to take him out?
#15Rand Paul filibustering right now
Posted: 3/7/13 at 10:15amAccording to Eric Holder, yes there is.

Broken clocks are right twice a day. Even the evil idotic ones.
Much of what Paul blabbed on about was nonsense. Especially towards the end. But it's an important issue. That's why it makes me sad that it had to be Paul that took a stand. Because he's so easily dismissed.

Having this thread, and the Drag Race thread next to each other made it look like RuPaul was filibustering...
Oy.

(Reuters) - Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday that President Barack Obama would not have the authority to order a drone to kill an American citizen on U.S. soil who was "not engaged in combat."

Posted: 3/7/13 at 3:27pmi guess the pressure finally got to Holder. Now if he can only answer about those guns he gave to the mexican drug dealers that are killing our children, maybe we could have real gun control

Posted: 3/7/13 at 3:32pmSo if Eric Holder answers more questions about a policy started under Bush you think Republicans in congress will suddenly be pro gun control?

fast and furious was started in 2010 under Eric Holder. Even the Huff Post conscedes that.
I think the correct question is, as many libs (and to be fair i must give props to those who have like NAMO and PHYLLIS as much as it pains me) on this very post have said about the drone fight is... Why do the lib dems allow this to go unchecked if they are FOR gun control. WHy did the Prez exert Exec Priv if hes going to exploit Sandy Hook.
