\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Rand Paul, ladies and gentlemen, is actually doing a filibuster as we speak. He\u2019s doing a talking filibuster. He\u2019s actually on the floor of the Senate trying to shut it down. This is over the nomination of John Brennan to be the next CIA director. What Rand Paul is upset about is the domestic drone program that everybody in the regime says is perfectly fine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obama and Eric Holder say, “Yeah, we\u2019re perfectly content with a program of having drones in the air domestically.” Eric Holder, the attorney general, refused to say that Americans cannot be killed on American soil by a drone. Obama runs the kill list. They\u2019ve really hyped this. You know, the media made a big deal out of Obama personally choosing targets on the drone kill list. They did that because, as a liberal, Obama\u2019s considered to be a pantywaist when it comes to the military and foreign policy.<\/p>\n

All liberals are, not just Obama.<\/p>\n

So they want to make him look like a big, tough guy, John Wayne. “He\u2019s got the kill list. He\u2019s not afraid!” Well, now it\u2019s been learned that this Brennan guy at the CIA and others in the regime want to fly drones over the United States for the purposes of killing people. Rand Paul has actually taken to the floor of the Senate right now, as we speak, and he\u2019s vowing to stay there at length in order to filibuster Brennan. I hope he means it and I hope they bring in a Port-A-Potty, which has happened.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to know how Rand Paul made it in to work today. You know, Washington is shut down today because of a blizzard. The only problem is the blizzard hasn\u2019t happened. They announced they\u2019re gonna shut down because of snow, and they did. Except it hasn\u2019t snowed. That\u2019s how he was able to make it to the Senate. <\/p>\n

RUSH: We have a couple of sound bites of Rand Paul\u2019s filibuster. He\u2019s on the floor of the Senate. He says he\u2019s gonna speak until he no longer can. He is filibustering the nomination of John Brennan to be the CIA director because the Obama regime is making it clear that they got no problem with drones flying over America<\/a>, drones that could be used to kill American citizens.<\/p>\n

The attorney general, Eric Holder, wouldn\u2019t rule that out. Rand Paul says that he\u2019s just tired. He\u2019s had it. (He doesn\u2019t want to be ideological about it, though. He doesn\u2019t want anybody to think he\u2019s motivated by ideology on this. Let\u2019s be clear.) He\u2019s tired of the administration shredding the Constitution. He\u2019s simply tired of it. He\u2019s sick and tired of this administration ignoring it — or, worse, just essentially tearing it up. So here\u2019s the first of two sound bites from the Rand Paul filibuster that is going on now on the floor of the Senate as we speak.<\/p>\n
