Filibuster Sparks Continuing Civil Liberties Discussion
The conversation continues ...
HARRISBURG – U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has finally stopped talking, but the discussion on national security and civil liberties that he and several other members of the Senate began with a 12-hour filibuster on Wednesday is continuing.
The Internet is lighting up this morning with re-action to Paul's talk-a-thon. Here's a few links worth clicking during your lunch hour.
Our very own Dustin Hurst has a write-up on the filibuster and how it united interests from the right and the left in opposition to expanding executive power (you'll notice that trend here).
Reason Magazine's Nick Gillespie gives a quick rundown of the three most important takeaways from the Rand Paul filibuster.
