Oh wait it is Mr. Smith goes to Washington (and Dr. Paul is his correct title anyway--because he is a medical doctor) but here is the filibuster scene (btw, Ron Wyden (D) of Oregon is also joining Dr. Paul in this filibuster) and it does have a certain separated at birth quality to the events of today:
Update:
Rand Paul mentions Outlawry as a legal concept? Where have I heard that before?
Bob Belvedere has more...
11 hours! Then 13!
Ted Cruz stands with Rand Paul...
Rand Paul and those who #standwithrand heroes and those who sup with Obama zeros.
It is over, but the full tape of the filibuster is here...
The Blogmocracy has more...
The many accomplishments of the Rand filibuster (including exposing Senators McCain and Graham as has beens)

At the moment, I won't quibble over Paul's voting for Hagel. He's standing up now, that's what's important. #filibuster

RT @roxeannedeluca: #StandWithRand Amazing what conservatives/libertarians can accomplish when they adhere to the Constitution.

This is the first time Wiz Khalifa was named in a Senate filibuster since Sen. John C. Calhoun in 1841.

I can't quite put into words my admiration for and patriotic pride in Senator Rand Paul. This is his line in the sand. #StandWithRand
