John Brennan’s nomination for the post of CIA Director was met by an unprecedented response among a vocal, if small, group within the Republican coalition in the Senate. Specifically, following the leadership of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Brennan’s nomination was filibustered in the most old-fashioned way. However, that filibuster failed to convince 13 Republicans in total,* all of whom voted for Brennan’s eventual confirmation. Making matters worse, at least one of those actively participated in the filibuster. Who were the Republicans who bucked their party and voted for Brennan? Read on to find out, in alphabetical order, who was responsible. SOURCE: THE BLAZE.COM
