Rand Paul filibuster fails to get WH to pledge not to kill Americans on U.S. soil.

Will a drone-fired missiles be in American dissidents futures? The White House won't say no.

Via Politico:

As Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) entered the eighth hour of his filibuster of Obama CIA nominee John Brennan on Wednesday, he pleaded for an assurance from the White House that the Obama administration would not kill Americans on U.S. soil.

“I have a message here from, not from the White House, a message saying the White House hasn’t returned our phone calls,” he said holding up a piece of paper shortly before 8 p.m. “If anybody knows anybody at the White House and wants to call them, we are looking for an answer from the White House.”

Since the filibuster began, White House officials have twice responded to messages from POLITICO seeking comment: They have nothing to say.

Paul joked “Maybe they’re going to call me when the sequester’s over,” then added, “I really think that one of the courtesies that they ought to think about is, particularly if what they’re hearing is something that they don’t object to, why not end the debate by going ahead and letting us know?

“You’d think that would be a pretty easy answer for them.”
