"Rand Paul, using any available brick to throw at Obama" In short a version of grandstanding. Schumer of NY uses any opportunity he can in the same way for certain issues. While all politicians do this some are more likely than others to seize the moment. In other words something is in the news and then all the sudden Senator "x" is writing a letter or demanding some action which gets him publicity. It would be interesting to see how many times a press release is issued by these types that is not about some issue that has bubbled up first in the media. (My point being that I'd like to see if I am correct...or not.) I do know that politicians are quick to write letters about anything and everything. But certain issues that have more PR potential seem to be more equal than others. My observation.
