"I've just taken the senate floor to begin a filibuster of the Patriot Act renewal. It's time to end the NSA spying!"

Any bets on how long this one will last?

The Patriot Act needs to die.  It will be interesting who among the freedom loving GOP votes to renew it.

Piss on the Patriot Act.

The muzzle needs to come off of all of the people that have had their hands forced under it.  I'd like to hear about all of the abuses.

Bush was out of his fucking mind on this one.

If this is a prologue to Rand's 2016 campaign's "official" beginning, it's a damn good political move.

Go Rand!

Nah.  Rand Paul is providing a little political circus to assuage the rubes, just as he endorsed McConnell.  It's all just politics.  In the end, the Patriot Act will move forward.

Unfortunately you're right.  The really sad part is that even if the patriot act somehow got obliterated there's no way in hell they'll stop doing whatever they want to anyway in secret.  Who's going to tell the government to stop breaking the law anyway?

I'm not clicking on it and otherwise like Rand.  However, I'm betting that since there's a "sign the petition" link there, that it's probably associated with a popular grifter who claims to be helping gun rights.

Gullible people are funny.  

This is going nowhere.  He knows this is going nowhere.  He is playing to a gullible audience that will lap this up.  

The law will pass and he will benefit from it passing while saying he tried to stop it.

The Patriot act gives them the authority to spy. You should read it. Everyone should read it. It goes FAR beyond passive collection of data.

And keep in mind their is alot more that is classified.

It's really not a filibuster as there is no Bill before the Senate.

WTF? This is the revised renewal that restricts the metadata storage scheme, IIRC. It is not a straight-up renewal, but a reform that has the support of privacy advocates in Congress, and is opposed by a minority led by O'Connell. The title of this thread leads me to believe that Paul is fully in the tank for O'Connell - he's the only major figure pushing for no restrictions at all on NSA.

FRP, FMO'C, FNSA

Yeah well,once we get a Republican President to go with both Houses being Republican controlled,we will start seeing the end of the NFA,ATF,IRS,etc....,and the repeal of all gun laws as unConstitutional.

It will be morning in America!

It's kind of funny to see people complaining that it is just for show.  This is Washington, everything is for show.  You think "debate" on the floor still has a purpose?  





Maybe this draws attention to the issue and increases constituent pressure.  Maybe it doesn't.  But if you don't play some politics and do some grandstanding, you won't be in DC for long.
