Rand Paul’s May 20 2015 10+ hour filibuster of the attempted reauthorization of Patriot Act Section 215 bulk collection of civilian phone records, contemporary to the USA Freedom act, calling for further reforms:
Rand Paul’s March 6 and 7 2013 12 hour 52 minute filibuster of John Brennan CIA nomination, with remarks on drone policy:
“I rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination for the C.I.A.,” Mr. Paul began. “I will speak until I can no longer speak. I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.”
