In a contentious interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, freshman Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) expressed frustration at the slow pace of the U.S. Senate, saying that given how little the deliberative body actually accomplishes, he feels sometimes, "like I should return my check".

“We go up week to week, and there's no debate in Congress, no debate in the Senate. We sit idly by," he said.

Paul's frustration stems from the lack of support by Democratic and Republican colleagues for his resolution claiming that U.S. intervention in Libya is "unconstitutional". The Senator has struggled to even bring the resolution to the floor, where it was tabled in a 90-10 vote.

If he can't deal with it maybe he should quit!

I thought Rand would be jumping for joy. No debates, no laws passes, mission accomplished. A libertarian dream.
