Surprise Surprise Surprise ......Mitch McConnell Up - wow !!

Rand seems fresh as a daisy after 11+ hours in the well. That is more than I can say after 3 minutes of Dingy Harry.

That Tim Scott from SC is a pleasant surprise. I never heard him in action before, only read reports on him being a solid guy. Good to see.

I thought all these speakers were giving Rand a bathroom break ....but someone said he can't leave the floor !!

Now, that is impressive !!

I hope the guys fillebustering sp? are authentic, sincere etc.

I hope it's not just another variation on yet another Kubuki dance to misdirect the sheeple with.

The Democrat response to the filibuster --

Senate Democrats Threaten To Reignite Filibuster Reform

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/...ster-reform.php

In an interview on Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), the author of a proposal to place more of the burden of sustaining a filibuster on the minority party, including forcing filibustering senators to speak on the floor, echoed remarks by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) earlier in the day about the need to revisit filibuster reform.

“Senate Republicans have demonstrated that they have absolutely no intention of ending their assault on the ability of the U.S. Senate to function,” Merkley told TPM, saying he had hoped the bipartisan rules change would ease gridlock. “Many of my colleagues are absolutely beside themselves with frustration, and that frustration is rapidly turning to fury.”

Political Follies:

CONSTITUTIONAL HERO!! We all know the story -- RAND PAUL'S, 13-HOUR FILIBUSTER!! We have a shooting star on the political scene!! And here are the morning headlines off of DRUDGE:
DRONE WARS: RAND STANDS!!!
HOLDER: Obama 'has authority to use drone strikes to kill Americans on US soil'...
'No Intention'...
Young bucks, new GOP power brokers join Paul,
while old guard dines with Obama.

LIBERAL ACTOR ON GOP-LED FILIBUSTER OVER DRONES: ‘FOR GOD’S SAKE, WHERE ARE DEMOCRATS?’

Actor John Cusack describes himself as a progressive, but he has been a critic of the federal government’s drone program regardless of who has been is in office. Frankly, he has also be a pretty harsh critic of President Barack Obama as well.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and other GOP senators on Wednesday conducted an old-school filibuster on the Senate floor to block John Brennan’s nomination and bring attention to the potential for drone strikes on U.S. soil. As the hours went by, Cusack was curious to know: “where are Democrats?”

Here are a series of Cusack’s tweets compiled by Twitchy.com:

John Cusack @johncusack

For gods sake where are democrats ?? “@democracynow: Rand Paul: Obama Admin Response Drones "More Than Frightening" http://owl.li/itdHI ”
