You may have seen this video from the beginning of the week, but if you haven’t please do. And it might be worth a second look because its a really good speech.
Rand Paul is calling for Congress to obey the constitution when it comes to declarations of war.
Of course its stupid we even have to discuss this, as its illegal, and congress has just been choosing to allow the President full-authority in authorization of force.
And of course the vote LOST 90-10! Not only are they breaking the law, but they’re also slitting their own throats by ignoring their own legal rights and powers!
This is very similar to what we talked about with Fudds here, spend enough time talking about gun ownership in terms of shooting ducks, deer, and paper, and soon that becomes “That’s the way its always been”, same goes for the illegal requirement for me to get a permit to have a large gathering on public land, or many other violations of the basic rights of the US Constitution.
Of course the usual suspects won’t give this much attention. See they were all for proper declaration of war when they hated the guy declaring it, now that they like the guy pulling the stunts, they’re all for it. They don’t even have the foresight to realize that there will be another guy they hate in the Whitehouse.
Nope stories like this are more relevant to them.

I’m liking Rand Paul a little more with each video magazine (er… clip) I see.
