Lindsey Graham’s eyeballs practically fell out of his sockets when Rand Paul rose to speak against the NSA Friday night, as Mitch McConnell attempted to pass a temporary extension of the Patriot Act before key provisions sunset in June.
Paul objected multiple times, late into Friday night, leaving McConnell unable to pass anything.
Paul also filibustered the extension on Wednesday, speaking for 10.5 hours.
Paul and Graham have a long, long history of publicly railing against each other.
“This week, I stood on the floor for roughly 11 hours in defense of the Fourth Amendment and successfully blocked the renewal of the Patriot Act. We should never give up our rights for a false sense of security,” Paul said in a statement. “This is only the beginning — the first step of many. I will continue to do all I can until this illegal government spying program is put to an end, once and for all.”
