One thing the filibuster accomplished was to underscore the hypocrisy and opportunism of supposedly antiwar liberals. "Where are all the Democrats?" asked the Puffington Host. The Washington Post counts seven senators who "joined in his symbolic effort": Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Marco Rubio of Florida, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Ron Wyden of Oregon. Wyden is the only Democrat in the group.
Great point made by the WSJ's James Taranto. Anti-war leftists are, for the most part, an opportunistic bunch of scumbags. Anyone can see that they've vanished since the Usurper took office but Rand did a great job putting it out there in the public eye.
