Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) took to the Senate floor today to filibuster President Obama’s nominee for CIA director, John Brennan, as well as to challenge the administration’s policy on drones. Paul began speaking at approximately 11:47 this morning, and we will keep updating this post with highlights from the senator and others.

Speaking of Burr...the problem with political jokes is that they keep getting elected....
Gee imagine that. Democrats support killing American Citizens on American soil without arrest or trial. You could knock me over with a feather.
I’m not too familiar with the filibuster process. Can someone fill in for Paul, as in, take the floor after him to monologue, give him a couple of hours break, or is only one person allowed to filibuster?
Cruz is speaking now, reading Twitter responses to the project. I need to see this for as long as it takes.
Good question
as I understand that he. Senator Paul, must keep the floor
he can yield to questions but he can’t yield the floor
and I am sure there is some rule on how long a silence he can have ans still be considered to have the floor
“Nothing good is gonna come out of this! Freaking McCain and Graham nasty are there! I bet it is either gun control or Open Border sellout.”
Nope, just dinner and it will knock Paul off the front page.
Yes
and then Mike lee again
It looks like the most committed constitutionists are organized
Very proud of these Conservatives
Do you have a list of the other dinees?
Barrasso (Wy.) just finished a good long question, which is now being expanded upon by Cruz. A good old talking filibuster centered upon Individual Liberty and Natural Rights is a beautiful thing to witness. This damn senate needs this. I am proud of the senators who are offering support, they are doing great. Ten and a half hours so far, and they’re looking good.
Maybe if those wimps that had dinner with Nero had instead listened to what Rand had to say they would actually learn just what their role is, representing US instead of political grandstanding and selling out this Great Country!
Coburn is a really strong conservative and even though I know you would like him there you can be sure Senator Coburn is giving 0dumbo an earful
and it won’t be compliments.
No Coburn is a great Senator for your state and maybe it is more important for him to be at the dinner to offset any RINO who watns to kiss that POS butt
