This is going on now. I'm listening to Mike Lee speak as I write. I've read a little tonight about this. Unlike most filibusters, this is a real filibuster that can really work. What is happening is the Patriot Act will expire on June 1st. The Senate leaders set up a vote to renew it just before they left for the Memorial Day break. From what I understand, if Paul keeps this going until tomorrow at 2pm, he will be able to push the schedule back so they will not be able to vote on it before the Memorial break.
What an awesome move by Paul. The worst legislation is always set up and passed in the hours before a holiday so that there is no debate and nobody in the country knows about it until it passes. Excellent job, Mr. Paul.
