The Best of Rand Paul's Almost 13-Hour Filibuster

##########################################

Rand Paul's now hours-long filibuster started with a simple pledge i rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan's nomination for the CIA I will speak until I can no longer speak and so commenced an old-fashioned political stand meant to protest us drone policy stretching from noon eastern time well into the night and needless to say there were many mr. Smith goes to Washington references to be had today I want to tell you about sure I like you but always occasionally got weird.

Pause points were often pointing it but also bordered on the bizarre there was his reinterpretation of Alice in Wonderland we think you know Alice never fell down a rabbit hole course she didn't she's not real but there is a question has America the Beautiful become Alice's Wonderland and taking us policy on targeted killings to what he saw as its logical conclusion is objecting your government or objecting to the policy of the government sympathizing with the enemy what are you going to just drop on a a drone Hellfire missile on Jane Fonda but also got a little help from his friends though never officially yielding the floor the senator did pause for extended questions.
