anybody else watching Rand Paul hump the senate?

    Oh, I'm not saying Paul abused it, but it's been abused to hell recently. It's meant to provoke serious thought and discussion over a given topic, not obstruct government progress because one side didn't get what it wanted and is childishly throwing a tantrum.

    I would say it usually does that. They don't last forever, even the declared filibusters eventually get pulled. I see no problem with it.

    Because the majority of times I've seen it used in recent decades has been the latter style CMXI mentioned. It's a dilatory undertaking inherently, even I admitted that, but do so in a way that is constructive to the governmental process. Provide information, encourage discussion and debate, actually make these people govern. When you start quoting Wiz Khalifa and The Godfather, it comes off as, "Well, we didn't win anything up until now, so I'm just going to yell until they give in to my demands."

    And for the record, I don't support this drone bill in its current form.
