Senator Rand Paul in the news

His dad may be a bit of a nutcase but the son is fantastic. From The Washington Times:

Rand Paul filibusters Brennan nomination for CIA director
Sen. Rand Paul took to the floor of the U.S. Senate just before noon Wednesday and vowed to stay there �at length� in order to filibuster John O. Brennan, whom President Obama has nominated to be the next CIA director.

Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, has said he will hold up the nomination until he gets more information about the U.S. drone execution program, which has become a major sore point for many lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

�I will speak today until the president responds and says, �No, we won�t kill Americans in cafes. No, we won�t kill you at home at night,�� Mr. Paul said early on in the filibuster, which began at 11:47 a.m. and by early afternoon showed no signs of slowing down.

Speaking from his corner desk, Mr. Paul, in red tie and gray suit and with a glass of ice water at the reach, spoke about political history and the origins of key constitutional precepts.

He was armed with binders full of information but rarely glanced at them as he rattled off important Supreme Court cases and names of lawyers involved in landmark race relations lawsuits.

Good news -- Brennan is another central planning/big government a**hole just like Holder and Obama. He should not be able to gain control of the CIA. While Senator Paul is at this, maybe he should bring up the government's massive ammunition purchases and the illogical new gun laws being rammed though...
