Sen. Rand Paul filibusters to stall vote on Brennan

(CNN) -- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, is filibustering the old-fashioned way.

And as a snow storm swirled outside Wednesday in the nation's capital, Paul started his own Twitter hash tag that encapsulated his hours-long stand-off on Capitol Hill: #filiblizzard.

At 11:47 a.m. ET, Paul took to the Senate floor for a rare talking filibuster in an effort to stall a confirmation vote on CIA Director nominee John Brennan.
