What the Rand Paul filibuster could not overcome
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul turned into Jimmy Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” He began a filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to be CIA Director. Mr. Brennan and Attorney General Eric Holder have decided that it is permissible for President Obama to launch predator drone strikes against American citizens on American soil. They grudgingly admitted that President Obama has this right even if there is no imminent threat.
Yet Sun Tzu’s the Art of War teaches people to go after the opponent’s weakness. Rand Paul made the mistake of trying to attack their opponent’s greatest strength.
