I applaud Sen. Rand Paul for his inspiring, informative and just filibuster of CIA Director John Brennan. It is important to understand the precedent the Obama administration is setting with reserving the right to kill U.S. citizens without due process.
Imagine if Dick Cheney made this claim in 2006! The Illinois senator for whom I voted for president in 2008 stood up to George W. Bush's illegal actions in the name of “national security” (trademark Karl Rove).
Not only is Sen. Paul bringing attention to the illicit and immoral drone policies of our current administration, but over the past two years he has saved more than 50 percent of his office's budget, without firing a single employee, returning over $1 million to U.S. taxpayers!
U.S. senators take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution." I am glad to see at least one politician is taking their job seriously!
