Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, began an old-school, speak-until-you-can-speak-no-more filibuster on Wednesday just before noon, and was still going strong more than an hour later.

“I rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination for the C.I.A.,” Mr. Paul began. “I will speak until I can no longer speak. I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.”

Mr. Paul is the first senator to use an actual filibuster after the Senate reached a deal earlier this year to take some basic steps to limit the filibuster.

As of 1:30 p.m., nearly an hour and a half after he first started, as many of his young aides watched from the Senate balcony, Mr. Paul showed no signs of letting up.

it is great to see a person who can stand up for his values...

I hope to see Rand Paul on the Presidential ticket in 2016 !

Wyden (D) has joined Paul in reference to targeted drone killings.

He wants oversight as well.........................................

This is childish and stupid. A waste of TAXPAYERS time and money.

If this was about Bush, you wouldn't be saying this. You'd be screaming just as you did before. :roll:

Do you really want the Pres. to have this much power? :???:

Since when has "wasting TAXPAYER'S time and money" been a consideration with Obama in charge? If he shows professionalism in any capacity, it is in wasting TAXPAYER'S time and money.

As before, the thing you put those well-worn kneepads on for should get laid off FIRST!

You wanna talk about do-nothing? Your Messiah is the poster boy for do-nothing!!

The Kentucky Senator wonders "are you just going to drop a hellfire missile on Jane Fonda?" as he questions the Administration's ethics on drone

if Obama/Holder is planning on dropping a missile on Hanoi jane..

then maybe stopping drones is an idea we should discus later after we see how that one works out.... :p

In 1957, Strom Thurmond spoke for a dawn-chasing 24 hours and 18 minutes, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

and ol strom was a liberal hero...

and now a conservative speaks out for all civil rights, the right to be secure in our home, to life, liberty... and not worrying about a missile dropped on our house,... ... and few on the left care...
