This filibuster is turning into a very important Constitutional debate ! I´m loving listening to it on C-SPAN. It is wonderful to hear these arguments and way past due. Several other Senators are now joining in, speaking up, giving Senator Rand a break. I´ve e-mailed my Senators (Boxer and Feinstein, I know, I know), asking where they stand on this, why they aren´t standing in line behind Senator Paul waiting their turn to speak up for the Constitutional rights of ALL Americans, regardless of party affiliation. This is important and well past time that it is happening. I´m hoping that it continues well into the night or into the morning.

Where are the republican senators. There should be six or seven senators sitting behind to show support

Love it

Poster 2, they are having a fancy dinner with Obama! I wonder how that´s going? They should be on the senate floor in support of the filibuster. Of course, it´s the RINOS who are having dinner!

Weare well pleased with Senator Rand Paul. Thank you Ted Cruz for helping out. Barack Hussein Obama must be resisted in every ditch. Otherwise we will end like Chavez´s Venezuela.

I thought today how many times we hear how our side can´t get any media attention. I was home all day and this was covered widely and not just on FOX. Senator Paul and Senator Cruz´ every move was all over the place. Just goes to show with fresh faces acting outside the box - POW! Some of those anchors were stunned!!! It was fun to watch!!!! Conservatives standing UP, fully prepared, speaking from the heart and supporting one another. So true #1!

Instead of praise for Paul we get snark at other repubicns.

During the filibuster there were more than a few other republicans who came to the podium to offer support.

So much easier to bash than praise.

It´s clear now why we lost the chance to defeat Obama. Too busy bashing our side.

America, our military, and our allies thank you bashers.

#8 I understand what you are saying but if we want a chance to beat the Democrats we have to be able to offer something better. Romney wasn´t it. I applaud Senators Rand, Cruz, and everyone who supported this on the Senste floor. It proves that patriotism and good old conservatism can make itself heard. Let´s have more of it.

"Twitter History" ... LOVE it!

Was watching CSpan as Senator Cruz read these #StandwithRand tweets and Daughter #2, working from home this week, tweeted support for us and also FB´d friends to do the same...

A historic day to have witnessed!

Stand with Rand.

The stark difference between Senator Paul and what is "normally on tv" was astounding. A lesson in loving the America that used to be and the refusal to accept the status quo!
Took me back to when I was taught "American history" in the 50´s and 60´s, it transported me back to the Patrick Henry speech of "Give me Liberty or give me Death"!!
God Bless Rand Paul.

FINALLY - some men in the Senate with cajones: Paul, Cruz, Rubio, Thune and Tumey.

It is so exciting to get the blood boiling again.....after 20 years.....there is HOPE!!

Guess who´s not coming to dinner! That list!

Anyone who saw Cruz cross examine Holder would be impressed. Holder was no match.

Sen. Rand Paul was refreshing but seeing him alone for so long made me furious. When "reach across the aisle, McCain" gets an idea he is always with a "gang of" but someone defending the Constitution is alone? Then Dems are offended when their patriotism is questioned. Defending the constitution and rule of law and due process is not an issue for only one party. When no Dems stand with Rand, then where is their loyalty and oath to defend the constitution? Never mind, we know.

#7 needs a rethink. Bashing republicans would be criticizing Paul and Cruz for rocking the boat. The cowards who did not show up to support Rand Paul and Ted Cruz need to be criticized and if possible thrown out of office.

I hope their constituents are paying attention at burning up the email and phone lines at the offices of these cowards. The future of our Country is at stake here. Even the ACLU is beginning to wake up to that fact.

Mr. Cruz is a clever one. Imagine using tweets as an attention getter. He was also great cross examining Holder. His confident persona will get him attention on more than FOX. Enjoy lo-fos!

"if we want a chance to beat the Democrats we have to be able to offer something better".
How about a Constitutional Republic?
We may have been witnessing History last night.
I heard the fife and drum in the background.

And you had to love Cruz´s questioning of Holder. There´s a new sheriff in town.

I was interested in the SCOTUS case (Medellin v. Texas) Cruz described that he argued (and won) in 2008 over whether the International Court of Justice (UN) could actually demand that Texas (and the US) disregard our constitution(s) and cede sovereignty to world opinion.

The ruling reported as 6-3 rejecting the ICJ´s absurd claims was actually 5-4. The anti-US minority coalition of dissenters was, of course, the usual suspects.

Two of them are still sitting (Ginsburg and Breyer) and the other two (Stevens and Souter) have been replaced by like-minded progressives, Kagan and Sotomayor.

Our constitution and our freedom are hanging by a thread! All it takes is for Obama to be able to replace one of the nine justices with a progressive and the constitution will finally be thrown on the ash heap of history.

Last night was not only historic for the filibuster -- it is the first time in living memory that senators have been heard by the people they represent actually fully supporting and defending the constitution as their oaths of office demand.

#20 Strom Thurman. He was energetic beyond his years.

This was good. I´d like to have seen Graham and Chambliss there.

I´m loving Cruz.

The Old Guard is our enemy

#18 Ah, yes. A new sheriff is just what we´re lacking.

At one point I thought we had one. What was his name? Wait a minute - it´s on the tip of my tongue...hmmmm...short name.....began with an "I".

Hold on - I´ve got it! ISSA! That´s it. Whatever happened to this freedom fighter and seeker of truth?

I´m proud of my new Senator Cruz, much better than who he replaced. I pleased my other senator, Sen. Cornyn didn´t go to the dinner with Obama. Still I think it is going to be up to our governors to get this federal government under control. Washington DC politicians have proven they cannot control themselves and can´t be trusted with the nations interests, only their own. I don´t know how the governors can stop the bloated behemoth but who else?

Cruz makes a brilliant point, and maybe sets a new example for being more effective.
How much space does Lucianne get every day on social media? Is Lucianne fed out to social media, picking up thousands more readers and voices? We ignorant ones can only ask. More social media exposure and feed back may be an idea worth following up on. And why aren´t Ldotters keeping an eye on, and making deadly remarks about, the TV mafia lamestream media, too? Diane Sawyer, the Queen of Drone news, needs more Ldotter observation, just like watching over a sick patient in the prison ward. The power of this wonderful Ldotter open forum, vox pop, has even more potential to win the war against collectivist tyranny.

Bashers? You mean Juan McLame and Missy Lindsay? Those two bashing publicly Paul, Cruz, and others is reprehensible.

While they were dining with King Barry, real conservatives were doing the heavy lifting.

They have over-sized egos and can´t stand the fact that other Republicans stole what they believe is their limelight.

Yes, I believe Mcain and Graham were jealous. Rand Paul redeemed hiself, but Ted Cruz was brilliant.

For the spelling and grammar police it should be "himself"

Ted Cruz is a class act. Thank you, Senator.

God bless Rand Paul and Ted Cruz!

John McCain, go to hell.

#2 Hector they are having dinner with the president and their noses are stuck, so can´t make the filibuster.

John McCain is a disgrace. He should have been standing with Rand Paul who was standing up for the U.S. Constitution. The secret is now out - McCain thinks the "Senate rules" are more important than the Bill of Rights.
