You Da Man... :)

[Chester Copperpot]

still not talking about the patriot act.. talking about one bullshit story after another..

maybe its a secret filibuster by the rest of the senate? hahaha


ya know if One senator can cause so much mayhem.. just imagine what 3 or 4 guys like rand could do.

[reduen]

Rand up now! He will be off and on for a while...

[garyallen59]

Rand is doing a super job!

[CanadaBoy]

Any updates?

[JK/SEA]

Rand still talking. 2:37 et

[JK/SEA]

just yielded to demint

[Brian4Liberty]

DeMint saying that Reid has been duplicitous in avoiding any debate, and going back on his word, which is apparently meaningless.

[pcosmar]

Good speech, good points. He seems to be getting some support as well.

Hanging on to shreds of hope.

[Brian4Liberty]

Mike Lee up now.

[JK/SEA]

back to rand....who then yields to mike lee

[Brian4Liberty]

Lee spoke about the need for debate, especially where issues are related to the Constitution. Sunset or expiration dates are meaningless if they are continually extended with no debate, and no process.

[Travlyr]

Senator Rand Paul is a pleasure to listen to. Finally... finally... a senator who has read the U.S. Constitution and is committed to his Oath of Office.

[JK/SEA]

still talking...4th amendment, 2nd, 1st...record searches,...GO RAND!

[Sweman]

The speech is discussed here as well:

Yeah, this is great. We'll need a 'tube on this...

[JK/SEA]

he's done...yielded back

[Veritas3]

So are they voting on an extension of the Patriot Act today or repealing it?

[JK/SEA]

I think Rand said something about 1am...

[olehounddog]

I thought Reid said last pm that they would take it up again thurs. But idk for sure. They have to get cloture because there is 30 hrs of debate after cloture vote.

[sailingaway]

If Rand is saying 1am it means he isn't waiving the 30 hours he's entitled to of debate.

But why are they so concerned about 'flying the bill' to the President in Europe? Why can't they just transmit it by computer? Surely Obama has secure computer connections nearby?

It's less efficient to fly it.

It's the US gov't modus operandi.

[BUSHLIED]

Rand back on CSPAN2 standing up himself! 4pm EST...

[BUSHLIED]

Reid just objected to Paul amendments again! @ 4:04pm...

[The Moravian]

Rand really let 'em have it. Looking forward to his full filibuster.

[BUSHLIED]

Rand is not going to waive the 30 hours...there is no way he would unless they agree to a roll-call vote on the gun records amendment.

[Diurdi]

When do the Senators usually go home? I mean it's already over 4pm.
