Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) hand delivered a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s office on Tuesday to tell him they planned to filibuster any gun control legislation he presents.
“We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions.”
what eye thynk: You want to oppose gun legislation, fine. Vote”No”! But you have no right to stop another Senator from voting his opinion. You have no right to keep this issue from being decided by the full Senate.
Your threats are nothing but a childish piece of theater, more about making news than about making progress. The fact that you announced your intentions to the media the day before delivering your letter just proves my point.
You came to the Senate to make a difference. If your interpretation of making a difference is to stand in the way of any progress at all, then you're doing a bang up job. But the rest of us wish you would just sit down, shut up and let the adults in Congress get back to work.
words fail me, as I am filled with anger by this threat to kidnap the Senate,
