Kentucky senator uses rare filibuster to block vote on President Obama's nominee to lead CIA | Fox News

Kentucky senator uses rare filibuster to block vote on President Obama's nominee to lead CIA | Fox News: "A Republican senator and tea party favorite from Kentucky used an old-style filibuster lasting nearly 13 hours to take control of the chamber and block Senate confirmation of John Brennan's nomination to be CIA director."

"Paul's performance, which centered on questions about the possible use of drones against targets in the United States, clearly energized a number of his GOP colleagues, who came to the floor in a show of support and to share in the speaking duties."
