Rand Paul storms out of Homeland Security hearing over amendments dispute.

Senator Rand Paul walked out of a Homeland Security Committee hearing after Senator Gary Peters blocked each Republican amendment to the Fire Grants and Safety Act. Paul introduced several amendments to the bill, which were combated by Peters with secondary amendments. Paul urged that the hearing was the first time that "we’ve gotten second-degree amendments on every one of our amendments." Following the debate, Peters said he hopes to find "common ground" with the senator from Kentucky.
