Captain Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 6445 Location: Florida	#1 Posted: 3/6/2013 5:04:14 PM WOW!! Killing it. Sen. Rand Paul launched into an old-fashioned filibuster on the Senate floor Wednesday as he tried to hold up the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director over concerns about the president’s authority to kill Americans with drones. Paul, R-Ky., is one of several lawmakers – on both sides of the aisle – who has raised concerns about the legal justification for launching drone strikes against Americans overseas. But Paul took to the floor after receiving a statement from Attorney General Eric Holder that creaked open the door to the possibility of using a drone to kill an American inside the United States. “To allow one man to accuse you in secret -- you never get notified you've been accused,” Paul said on the floor. “Your notification is the buzz of propellers on the drone as it flies overhead in the seconds before you're killed. Is that what we really want from our government?” Paul said he’d be raising the same complaints under a Republican president. “No one politician should be allowed to judge the guilt, to charge an individual, to judge the guilt of an individual and to execute an individual. It goes against everything that we fundamentally believe in our country,” he said. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/06/sen-paul-holds-floor-for-hours-in-filibuster-cia-nominee-over-drone-concerns/

He says he will not stop until President Obama confirms that drones will not be used to target Americans on American soil.

The U.S. is likely to account for 77% of global UAS research and development and 64% of procurement over the next decade. U.S. firms have more than 50% of the market by value and could seize another 5% to 10% over the next 10 years. However, export controls may hamper overseas sales of U.S. UAS equipment. Some U.S. firms may sell basic platforms and allow customers to integrate their own sensor equipment. The total UAS market (air vehicles, ground control equipment and payloads) is expected to be worth $55 billion through 2020.

They refuse to answer that question. This has nothing to do with Brennan and Rand Paul has stated so many times today during the fillibuster.
