Credit where it's due, while I believe Rand is a douchebag 99.5% of the time, I certainly cannot disagree with him about drones, and I have to grudgingly respect him for doing an actual filibuster, as opposed to the usual Bitch McTurtle style threat of a filibuster.

One hell of a filibuster. I was expecting him to grab a garbage can and piss in it so he could keep going.

Yeah, but then C-Span would have cut the feed, and obviously he was doing this as much for the live audience as anything else.

Seems that when Bernie Sanders did his marathon filibuster a couple years ago, he was able to "yield" a couple minutes of time to another senator to keep talking while he took a piss, which is good considering his filibuster went about 18 hours or so, from what I remember..

Maybe Rand couldn't find anyone else to do that. He should have asked Bernie.

You beat me to it, that's how it is supposed to be done....

The wheels of justice grind slow but they grind to dust. Things have gone too far in Washington DC. It usually takes a huge crisis to wake everyone up. The Obama Administration continuing the Bush shenanigans and adding to it shows we need to get rid of the TSA, The Patriot Act, The NDAA and whittle down the executive branch from being a dictatorship and make it an equal branch of government again. The Executive branch has just gotten too powerful and now it's gone crazy on power. We can't leave things the way they are. One of these days we will get a real monster in the seat and we will wish we did something while we still could.
