RT @NoahPollak: Would be ironic if Obama stopped the filibuster with a drone strike

It’s reasonable to say “I’ll believe you’re sincere when you say this under a GOP prez.” But in the mean time, support if right on merits!

Also: one can support this pro-civil-liberties awakening on Right while remaining skeptical of some of its proponents’ motives/consistency.

Remember when Romney said this? http://www.thelibertypapers.org/2012... I do. I hope a future GOP litmus test is, um, not saying anything like that.

Of course there is a liberty/security balance that must be struck. But the answer is NEVER “it’s okay b/c I trust the guy in charge.” NEVER.

Ours is a gov’t of laws, not of men. Trusting the discretionary whims of any president, of any party, is dangerous. Power must be checked.

Cons who were OK with civil liberties violations b/c they trusted Bush were wrong then. Libs OK w/ them b/c they trust Obama are wrong now.

Wyden: “Yes. YES. The gavel of bipartisanship shall sound in the Senate one last time! Now for wrath, now for ruin and a filibustered dawn!”

Wyden: “For death and glory.” Paul: “For America. For your people.”

Wyden: “So much death. What can men do against such reckless drones?” Paul: “Ride out with me. Ride out and filibuster them.”

Yup. RT @JonMessersmith: @brendanloy tit-for-tat accusations of hypocrisy are tired. If these Rs are correct, agreeing Ds should help.

RT @nick_ayers: Nothing partisan about this. Very big deal that US Gov't now says they can kill Americans w/o due process. Worthy filibuster #standwithrand

RT @cmdeb: I actually do believe Rand would be asking these same questions whether an R or D in the WH. Not sure about everyone else.

RT @sunnyright: @brendanloy Fair. But Senate specific, these three weren't there. I'd like to know where Wyden and Sanders are today.

RT @polarscribe: @brendanloy Also fair to ask “Why should I trust GOP to be any better when their president started drone attacks, TSA, two wars, etc.”

LOL RT @DeanClancy: I hope @MarcoRubio comes to the Senate floor, hands @SenRandPaul a bottle of water and joins in his filibuster.

Let's hope everyone is going to start being more principled now. Congress, the branch of gov't (not a political party), needs to show spine.

Right loves to say "where's the anti-war left now?" Also fair to ask, where was civil-liberties right under Bush? This shouldn't be partisan

RT @joshbranson: Cruz and Paul may have a more narrow view of Executive power on the drones issue than I have, but they are asking good questions.
