Just a note to say I think the Rand
Paul filibuster now in progress may become a seminal moment in American
politics. And that not only because
it is an actual old-fashion talking filibuster not seen in years. There aren’t many issues on which
Americans are united, but domestic drones is one such issue. Left, right, or in between, people do
not want drones flying over their houses.
Sen. Paul is grabbing this issue
and running with it like nobody else.
And it is good policy, defending Constitutional freedoms, and it is good
politics as well. In short, by combating
and in effect filibustering domestic drones*, Rand Paul is becoming an American
hero.
You heard it here first.
(*Yes, the presenting issue is the
Brennan nomination. But the real
issue of the Paul filibuster is domestic drones and their potential abuse.)
UPDATE:
Sen. Mike Lee has joined the
filibuster. ‘Cause even heroes
need their potty breaks.
UPDATE 2:
Now Sen. Ted Cruz is joining the
filibuster, too! I thank God he’s
my senator!

It has now been about 12 hours of Sen. Paul speaking (without benefit of teleprompter) and few breaks. Finally, several have shown up to help, but my MO Sen. Blont has been AOL all day!
