Rand Paul's 13 hour Filibuster

I think his filibuster is a little bit misguided, but I do like Rand Paul in general. He's one of the few politicians that makes headlines for reasons other than stupidity or scandalous behavior.

It's weird that drone attacks are getting so much attention. How are theoretical/hypothetical drone attacks within the US any different than CIA use of more traditional military force? This should be about Civil Rights, Due Process, and Utilitarianism principles.

Disclosure: Yes I am biased toward drones.
