Leading

A tribute post for Rand Paul. 

For standing up to the idea of drone attacks against US citizens on American soil.

Senator Paul led, and eventually some followed.  NiceDeb lists the followers:  Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Jerry Moran, Ron Wyden and Marco Rubio. 

So 6% of the US Senate will filibuster a proposed law that will authorize the president to launch drone attacks against gun owners, political opponentsunborn children, recently born children, enemies attacking a US embassy, or terrorists. But only if 1% will take a stand. 

Thank you Rand Paul.

What terrorists do you think Stalin, Mao or Pol Pot would have targeted if they had had drones?
