By way of a New York Times news alert : The Senate on Thursday afternoon licensed John O. Brennan’s nomination to guide the Valuable Intelligence Company by way of a vote of 63 to 34 . The vote followed a filibuster by means of Senator Rand Paul, who spent just about thirteen hours on the Senate flooring in pursuit of more details about the administration’s domestic drone coverage. After receiving a quick letter from Legal professional General Eric H. Holder Jr. assuring him that the president does now not have the “authority to use a drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil,” Mr. Paul declared his effort successful, and indirectly voted to end debate (though against the nomination), bringing the overall votes in choose of cloture to 81 over 16 against. Just FYI.
