Have to say, its about DAMN TIME someone stood up for the constitution

[Denny]

Wife brings something up. This would be an amazing kickoff for Rand 2016. "I alone stood up for you and said you shouldn't be killed with a drone without due process. The Dems tried to shut me down, Republicans outside of Cruz wouldn't stand with me. I will defend you."

He's been going 9 hours. I"m going to say 15 hours

I think there has been a few others helping as well. He'll signal when he needs an assist. Other than that, let him go.

It'll all end when Obama just answers the f'in question.

They keep updating us over the radio out here. I'm streaming it on the CSPAN app.

Good stuff!

This is TONS better than reading a stupid phone book. At least he has substance.

Any bets on how long?

Good point "If you vote Libertarian or Constitutional Party, you're a terrorist."

I'm so glad we have Ted.
tweet "it's ironic that a Nobel peace prize winner won't guarantee he won't kill Americans" lol

[sc281]

Cruuuuuuz!!

[Forever_frost]

He's going to read Tweets. Absolutely brilliant. Give him a bit to catch his breath

[DallasSleeper]

Hell yes, Ted is back to stoke the fire

[Forever_frost]

Damn, Durban shot him down

[Forever_frost]

I mean standing there and talking instead of just saying it was being filibustered

[David]

Byrd joined with Southern senators to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964,[27] personally filibustering the bill for 14 hours, a move he later said he regretted
