Rebublicans should use this tactic more often as it makes news and it bypasses the usual Kneepad Media filters.

Good job Rand.
Keep the heat on these thugs.
Save the USA.

Not sure why Rand Paul is so worked up about Brennan. He folded like a cheap suit over Hagel with that "President is entitled to pick his own people" crap.

I agree Brennan is a scary Islamist apologist, but Hagel and Kerry are frightening choices as well. Paul´s lack of consistency troubles me.

In my opinion, this is fantastic. and I hope he gets others to get up there with him and
talk non-stop for the next 4 years until Obama is out of office. He is arguing for due process of law, which is supposed to be the way justice is conducted in the U>S>A> This administration wants to bypass all civil society and assassinate in secret. Its a Government gone mad with power.

Ditto about Hagel and Kerry, but he is doing something about this jerk.

This filibuster is not based upon Brennan´s ability. It is based upon our Constitution.

I suspect Rand was planning this filibuster for a while (he has huge binders full of notes) and he voted for Hagel as a way to avoid being branded a pure partisan. Who knows, but he has to play the politics properly in order to strengthen the stance on the battle he chose to fight.

The MSM will barely cover it. If a conservative filibuster falls in a forest of liberal reporters will it make a sound?

This is the only unequivocal display of principled political backbone from a current Republican Senator that I can recall. The rest of the pack may mean well - but they have proved to be good for very little except target practice by Obama and the Democrats. Some fatal defect hinders them even from defending themselves, much less standing up for principle and counter-attacking the radical Leftists. I don´t know that much about Rand Paul, but he has the courage of his convictions. Would that we had more like him in the Republican party.

Hagel was/is merely incompetent, Brennan, on the other hand apparently believes an American citizen can be targeted by a drone while on American soil. HUGE DIFFERENCE While a case can be made to target a citizen who has taken up arms against this country while on foreign soil (I am not totally comfortable with that), the Constitution of this country protects all while on American soil with no exceptions!

This isn´t about Brennan....It´s about raising awareness and getting press about drones and holders claim that they can kill US citizens on American soil with them....I commend him whole heartedly for his tactics and tenacity...It´s the only way our side will get the story past the MSM

Doesn´t this guy realize that filibusters are so 1960´s Democrat pro-segregaton uncool?

I´ve been listening--how refreshing to hear plain talk and not needing to parse what you actually heard!! God bless Rand Paul, and give him the strength and allies in addition of Cruze and ???

God bless you Rand Paul...calling these communist thugs out....

prayers please for Senators Paul and Cruz folks....

where more than one is gathered in His name

Just say "Jesus I trust in Thee"

please pray

#14 ~ Amen ~ As far as why he didn´t do the same with Hagel ~ well as the old Donna Summer song goes ! Enough is Enough ~ or I can´t take any more ~ GOD you Super Strength ~ Rand Paul !!!

Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has now joined Sen. Paul. This is AWESOME. Don´t assume you know what´s going on here, if you haven´t watched any of it.

Whether the U.S. government can target AMERICANS on AMERICAN SOIL with drone strikes is a HUGE issue. The Southern Poverty Law Center has issued a report that the patriot movement has grown ´with the re-election of the nation´s first black president.´ Returning veterans and 2nd amendment proponents have ALREADY been classified as ´potential domestic terrorists´.

It´s only a liberal jump and skip to categorizing patriotic Americans who want a return to Constitutional, smaller government as ´terrorists´, where drone strikes to kill will be accepted, and even desired.

Wake up. We are standing targets by this administration and its Department of ´Just Us´.

Ted Cruz has joined.

God bless ALL of them there today, in the ´snowstorm´.

This is great but I sure wish they had done this also on Hagel.

I am watching Cruz now. Ted Cruz is just amazing to listen to. I get emotional listening to him. Few people have ever had that effect on me. I won´t forget this even for a long time.

And, just like in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington - the MainStream Media is out running down plucky little newsboys who are trying to get out the Truth!

Thanks for the update #16, I was wondering where are Paul´s back ups!!!

Gabula

It´s a Snow News Day in Washington so this may be the only thing getting some traction.

I applaud these efforts to stand up to a Badministration of In-Just-Us...
We can and will be targeted for death by Obama´s assassins if we don´t toe the mark.

That is the Wannabe Kommie Dicktater´s warning to all of us.
The Gummint is preparing to fight against its own citizens in a civil war.
Watch for Bambi´s third term. That´s what he apparently is "gunning" for now.

Cheering and praying in Texas. Can´t wait to get home from work and turn this on. Will keep getting updates from Lucianne until then. God bless them all!

I am so proud of our Senator, Ted Cruz. What a breath of fresh air he has been. Right now he´s posing a question to Sen Paul: "If it turns out the intelligence is incorrect and if a drone strike is used, is there any effective remedy to correct that mistake??" Love the tag-teaming.

Great posts of support ALL... As Drudge says, "Mr. Paul Goes To Washington". Add our illustrious star Senator Cruz AND others and this is JUST what America needs! WHOA, Cruz invoking the Alamo. What a leader!!!!!

I´ll bet our President has never seen or heard about Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

Sen. Cruz reading William Barret Travis´ letter from the Battle of the Alamo. Today is the 177th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo.

Call these Senators offices...tell them you support them Allelulia!


Senator Mike Lee .....(435) 628-5514

Senator Ted Cruz .....(202) 224-5922

Senator Rand Paul ....(270) 782-8303

OK Rubio, Ayotte, Ryan....back them up!

We will get a chance to see exactly what the Republican Senators are made of.
Doubt we will seeing McCain or his "partner" Graham.

Hopefully every member of the Senate who realizes the Obama Administration is wildly out of control will join Senator Rand.

Expect if the word gets out that he is on TV and that this is getting some coverage, we might see all of them! Good for him... at least the media is going to have to cover it... what a novel idea!

Somebody tell Rubio to slow down... this is a stall for time. His quip about the water was hilarious.

^5 about time someone stood up for we the people...i am liking this man more and more......i am thinking he could clean this country up and show leadership that we NEED....

#11 it is also about getting answers out of brennen about benghazi

I listened to some of the C-span coverage. Just my luck I got a forked-tongued Demonrat from Oregon talking about how the preezy would not authorize a Drone strike on America soil against a citizen without benefit of due-process. Yeah, right. Never trust a Demonrat, they would squash a patriot in a heat-beat if they though Leftism could triumph by the elimination of any citizen/s.

i am proud of cruz as well.....and you shoule be #24 i am not in texas but i sure would have voted for hi.....and for the poster who said filabusgters were so 1960´s who cares....................go dr paul and all other senators that are supporting him

That would be heart-beat. Demonrats just make me so uncomfortable, especially when they try to sound reasonable by smooth speech filled with lies.

oops sorry for the mistakes....filibuster....

ryan is a congressman or he would be there

My wife and I have been watching this for several hours and think it´s being well done. A well planned and executed verbal air strike aimed at the Obama administration.

You go, Dr. Paul. And I´m tired of the naysayers who never pass up the opportunity to criticize someone who is 99.99% on the right side. No wonder Republicans can´t win elections.

A little disappointed they´re not also talking about homeland security´s use of drones...That´s actually a scarier issue

Ryan is doing this to get attention to the fact the the hussien administration will allow drones to kill American citizens on American soil. this is being doe with out du process...no trial..nothing...get that drone out and kill those people...really...
God bless Rand Paul...we should all supprt him

Sen John Cornyn steps up to the podium. Go Texas! We are so proud of our senators.

Look for a drone strike on the podium if this goes on much longer...

Senator Johnson, get a piece of this while its still warm!!!

Agree with #41.

I am sure my esteemed senator, Harry Reid, will soon join in. /s/ I do wonder where my new Republican senator Dean Heller is though.

It would be cool to have a "live" running thread on this. It´s historic! Go RP!!!! God bless you!

Somewhere Karl Rove is screaming at T.V. "No no no! Your doing it all wrong!

Holder and Obe along with all the other progressive weasels should be reminded that they too would be considered fair game if drone assassinations are deemed legal and Constitutional.

Obama administration sent note to Rand stating they would give him an answer when the sequester is over. In other words, he will agree not to kill us if we give him more money...

We emailed our support to Senator Rand Paul, and phoned his main office in Bowling Green, Kentucky to voice our support, AND emailed our Conservative friends and asked them to do the same.

So happy to see that Rand Paul is backed up by Ted Cruz and other Conservative leaders. Paul is young and fit -- hope he breaks the Senate filibuster record!

Although I suspect Mr. Paul is over compensating for his less than average length of membership in Congress, I am aroused by and admire his erect and firm intercourse against the Obamawannaeunuchs. It is true that the smaller the pepper, the hotter the spice!

I always thought he was holding his fire with Hagel and Kerry because he thought Brennan was the biggest danger and didn´t want to blow his chance.

Fascinating. RP still going strong at 8 p.m. central time. Watching this has been like attending an upper level course in government. Mr. Paul is very clear, concise, articulate. Glad he´s had a chance to share the truth with the rest of the world.

Anyone want to bet when some smarmy MSM reporter uses the headline

"Rand Paul Drones On"?
