Senator Paul's filibuster was applauded by many conservatives and Republicans. Of course, the time has long passed since being a conservative and being a Republican are synonymous.
There were two Republican senators that fall into this category, according to many conservatives, who did not like the filibuster. They would be Lindsay Graham and John McCain. They thought the filibuster was ridiculous. Paul responded to their criticism with the following: They think the whole world is a battlefield including America and that the laws of war should apply, The laws of war don't involve due process so when they ask you for an attorney you tell them to shut up. That's not my understanding of the way America works. I don't think the laws of war apply to America, I think the Bill of Rights do and I think it's a disservice to our soldiers that our senators up there arguing that the Bill of Rights aren't important." The "whole world is a battlefield" is particularly true of McCain. The guy wants to bomb everyone. He must get off on it. As for Graham, well, he's just an idiot. It wouldn't be surprising to see him lose in a primary.
