    Post NEWS!!!! Rand Paul Blocks Sythethic Drug Ban

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is blocking three Senate bills that seek to prohibit new synthetic drugs. Rand spokesperson Moira Bagley confirmed to the Lexington Herald-Leader that he has had a "hold" on the bills for the last three months and that he has no intention of lifting it.

    Under Senate "unanimous consent" rules, any senator can place a hold on any bill. A hold doesn't kill a bill, but makes it more difficult for it to pass. A bill with a senatorial hold would require 60 votes to bring it up for consideration over the holding senator's objection.

    Thank you, Rand!
    "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor. "

    Rand Paul might have done some things in the past which made me scratch my head, but I'm not going to doubt Paul and his wife's parenting!

    Sen. Paul is doing this because of this:

    "Let's hear what the objections are, and then pass these bills," said Klobuchar.
    got that? we'll debate, and then we'll pass the bills anyway.
