Sen. Paul suggests filibuster ’round 2′ coming
This time a week ago, I was just getting started on my 13-hour filibuster. Are they ready for round 2? #tcot #filiblizzard
— Senator Rand Paul (@SenRandPaul) March 13, 2013
{mosads}A week earlier Paul held a roughly 13-hour filibuster on John Brennan’s nomination to lead the CIA. Paul filibustered Brennan’s nomination in order to push the Obama administration to respond to Paul’s questions about drone policy.
A number of Republicans joined Paul’s filibuster and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) praised him for it.
McConnell has also highlighted support for the filibuster in a campaign email.
