Rand Paul Places Hold on New FBI Director's Nomination

Once again Rand Paul steps up. He will place a hold on the nomination James Comey, President Obama’s pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation, until the administration answers his questions on domestic drone use. Evidently Paul isn't planning another filibuster but he will hold up Comey's confirmation until he answers questions about the FBI's drone surveillance in American airspace. The Kentucky Senator sent some 15 questions on drone use to the FBI nearly a month ago and has yet to hear a reply.
“I want to know when the FBI uses a drone to fly over my property or someone’s house, are they getting a warrant first or are they just doing it willy-nilly because they can?,” he asked. “The thing about a drone is it has amazing ability to look everywhere from 50,000 feet so you don’t know you’re being spied upon. And I think that that kind of spying goes against the right to privacy that all Americans have.”
