    Senator Cruz reading some tweets now, including one observing that he has given a better human rights speech than @barackobama has ever given. Senator Cruz pauses to observe that Rand Paul does not have a teleprompter in front of him.

        This has been pretty entertaining. I hope Rand goes forever just because this is pretty damn cool.

            I like when he clarified the "you da man" tweet.

                Ted Cruz just identified Ayn Rand as one of his all-time heroes.

                    So Reid comes to the floor to ask unanimous consent to proceed to debate and a vote on Brennan. Paul says he'd be happy to if the President and AG clarify that they're not going to kill non-combatants in America with a drone strike. It sounds really funny when he puts it that way. It starts at the 2:25 mark.

                        This thing is going to go on for a while.

                        6 GOP senators are on the floor now getting ready to ask "questions" of @senrandpaul, including leadership members like John Thune

                                The Patton and St. Crispian's day speech were especially nice.

                                    Rubio is back.

                                            Seeing Rubio after a full day of Paul, Lee and Cruz really shows how overhyped he really is. I like him, but he comes across as a lot more shallow in comparison.

                                                I think I might agree. Rand Paul would take him to school on the debate floor.

                                                    Looks like GOP leadership is on board with the filibuster. 11 hours into it.

                                                        It's Thune (R) South Dakota time!

                                                        EDIT: This makes 11 Senators who have participated (11% of the Senate).

                                                            If three more Senators participate, what percentage will that represent?
