Well Rand Paul used those 11 hours to explain what the Patriot Act really is to a lot of Americans. Most people don’t really even know what it is. I applaud him.
Actually, I wasn’t please with Cruz’s 16 hour(?) filibuster last year, either. If these guys are going to do this, they really need to have them last a serious amount of time.
By the way, so you don’t get the wrong impression....I TOTALLY support Rand Paul’s position on the NSA violation of the 4th amendment. I’m just old and cynical about political stunts, I guess. They irritate me. (Should I go get a cup of coffee?)
