"Ron Paul always looks for constitutional authority before voting."
Well, then he voted wrong this time. There is NO Constitutional Authority for Congress to be running the military. The President is the Commander in Chief. There is a long body of literature -- starting with the Federalist Papers that say that resolutions like this one exceed Congress's authority. You cannot have 345 Commanders in Chief.
Paul won't vote for resolutions lauding individuals because he cannot find "Congressional authority" for such votes, but he finds "Congressional authority" for a meaningless resolution that serves only to embolden our enemies?
Paul has lost my vote -- forever. I am in his district. I will support ANY challenger in the Republican Primary, and if Paul wins that, I will not vote in that race in the general election.
