Rand Paul brushes off Harry Reid’s attempt to end filibuster

“I have no problem with people talking a long time,” Reid said, before asking if Paul and two other senators would limit themselves to speaking for 30 minutes more each. - Joel Gehrke/Washington Examiner @joelmentum

Reid asked for unanimous consent, but Paul objected. “The only thing I would like is a clarification,” Paul said, proposing that Holder retract his claim that “it is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States.”



Thus far this has been a brilliant filibuster: Measured, respectful, thoughtful. - John Nolte/Breitbart
