Rand Paul ends marathon filibuster but fails to block Patriot Act
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
Rand Paul ends marathon filibuster but fails to block Patriot Act | 21 May 2015 | Two years after rising to national prominence with a 13-hour talking filibuster against drones, Rand Paul has made another marathon speech on the floor of the US Senate — only this time in a bid to halt the federal government's mass surveillance of Americans' phone records and to derail an extension of the Patriot Act. Paul spent a total of 10 hours and 30 minutes on Wednesday calling for an end to the National Security Agency's dragnet surveillance tactics, eating up one of just three legislative days remaining before lawmakers go on recess till 1 June — the same day that key provisions of the Patriot Act are due to expire.
