Rand Paul filibuster got results

White House acknowledged that killing US citizens said Rand Paul. Sen. Rand Paul’s 12-plus time filibuster was never going to prevent Us senate verification of David Brennan to be CIA home, and indeed the full Us senate elected, 63 to 34, Friday mid-day to accept Mr. Brennan as the country's next spymaster.

But Senator Paul’s uncommon move – actually discussing for hours on end, and not just harmful to filibuster – has had an immediate impact on a key issue that many congress (and many voters) find troubling: the use of unmanned drone airplane to destroy alleged terrorists, such as, possibly, US people on US ground.

Forced to reply, Lawyer Common Eric Owner in a three-line correspondence to David Friday resolved what had been presented by Us senate Conservatives as a constitutional question: "Does the Chief executive have the power to use a weaponized drone to destroy an United states not involved in fight on United states soil?"


“The response to that query is no,” Mr. Owner, had written – at long last, in the perspective of his experts. In a Us senate Judiciary Panel listening to Wed, Owner would only say that eliminating a theoretical alleged United states enemy on US ground who presents no immediate risk would be “inappropriate.”

Holder’s correspondence pleased John.

“I’m quite satisfied with the response, and I’m frustrated it took monthly and a half and a main tunel to get it,” John informed CNN. “But we did get the response. And that is what I’ve been asking all along.”


Like his father, former presidential candidate and US Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the junior senator from Kentucky is as much libertarian as he is Republican. Where most GOP lawmakers position themselves as foreign policy and military hawks, Rand Paul strongly questions some aspects of US policy here – particularly as in this case where constitutional issues regarding judicial due process are involved.

This rankles some senior Republicans. On Thursday, Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona described some of what Paul had said during his filibuster as “simply false.”

Quoting from a Wall Street Journal editorial, Mr. McCain said, “If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in college dorms.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina, McCain’s chief ally on such matters, called Paul’s unusual effort “ill-informed.”
