I'd be a little more convinced of that if he'd support a constitutional amendment for the drug war, and an end to the New Deal interpretation of the Commerce Clause. As it is, he opposes the unconstitutional federal social programs and bureaucratic intrusion into people's lives in practice, but tacitly supports it in principle. IMHO

"if he'd support a constitutional amendment for the drug war"

I've stated before that I would support a constitutional amendment turning the drug legalization decision over to the states just like we did with alcohol. I wouldn't vote for it, of course, but I support this fair approach to changing our existing drug laws.

"and an end to the New Deal interpretation of the Commerce Clause."

The "New Deal" interpretation? Oh, please. Was there ever any other interpretation contrary to the "New Deal" interpretation? You previously admitted there wasn't, and now you're implying otherwise.

"As it is, he opposes the unconstitutional federal social programs and bureaucratic intrusion into people's lives in practice"

As I said, an RLC kind of guy.
