This is the closest I’ve come to a real rebellion in the Senate. It ended with a whimper.
Is this what our Republic has become????????????
Come on, give the guy credit. He couldn’t leave the floor. It’s a stupid law, and more than one person should be able to filibuster. Otherwise, the filibuster is no check or balance. You just have to wait a couple of hours.
Within his ability, Ran Paul did a good job today, went to the limit, and I salute him and all who helped. I’ll even give a tiny smudge of credit to little dick Durbin. At least he had the guts to come and debate in a respectful way.
This is not a last stand, it’s a first. We should be doing this A LOT more. I was actually interested in hearing what people had to say! People with conviction spoke out tonight, and I hope they continue to.
