U.S. Sen. Rand Paul grabbed headlines after he spent 10 and a half hours on the Senate floor on Wednesday arguing why Congress should put an end to the NSA surveillance program.
Paul, who is running in the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, lambasted the notorious government spying programs along with key parts of the Patriot Act, which is set to expire on June 1, reports .
"There comes a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer," Paul said as he opened his remarks Wednesday afternoon, reports . "That time is now. And I will not let the PATRIOT Act -- the most unpatriotic of acts -- go unchallenged."
During his talk-a-thon, both Democratic and Republican senators showed support for Paul's fight for American civil liberties by speaking on the issue to give him a break.
