No need to be rude and call names. After all, if you were such a great american, you would respect my right to an opinion. Anyhow, I will tell you what, WHEN a US citizen is attacked by a drone on US soil, then we will talk. As of this moment, I would be correct thus far as no one has ever been......... fortunately...


When did I say you are not entitled to an opinion? Lmao, I said I think you are the dog and pony show referencing your pseudo-attack on this filibuster as a dog and pony show.

So you want to talk about drone strikes on REAL Americans on American soil AFTER somebody dies? Ok, good for you. I'd rather this opposition takes place BEFORE somebody dies an unjust death by the Chief Executive Emperor.

On second thought, you were right. Let's stop the Iraq war after it happened..Oh wait... IT ALREADY HAPPENED.

Keep up your dog and pony show. Although nobody is buying tickets, you can still perform.

Well this IS mentioned on CNN also. In fact it is the main article under US news. How about that?

Holder does not rule out drone strike scenario in U.S

Attorney General Eric Holder is not entirely ruling out a scenario under which a drone strike would be ordered against Americans on U.S. soil, but says it has never been done previously and he could only see it being considered in an extraordinary circumstance.


But Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican who has said he would do what he could to hold up Brennan's nomination until he got a full answer to his query, wanted to know whether the administration considered that policy applicable domestically.

Yes!

This is how this happened. Paul seized on a technicality, Harry Reid did not file
paperwork that would allow a vote to end it.

Go Rand Paul!

The website Politico said the Paul had seized on a technicality that could allow him to keep the floor as long as he can speak. It said Senate majority leader Harry Reid didn’t file paperwork that would allow him to break into Paul’s filibuster for a vote to end it.

The inclusion of Lee, Moran and Cruz, three other senators with Tea Party connections, as “guest answerers” of questions could give the filibuster some staying power. Also, a much-hyped snowstorm for the Washington area fizzled out on Wednesday, after most of the federal government closed doors.

Oh thank goodness. Now that some random clown on the internet has guaranteed that this will never happen, we can all go back to our normal lives.

I was worried there for a second, thank you.
