If Ron Paul thinks Scooter Libby is GULITY of the crime in which he was convicted(and sorry, Scooter wasn't convicted of "misleading the country on Iraq"), then the constitutional position is to let Libby rot in jail.

It appears that Ron Paul has accepted the Judgment of the Courts, and believes that Libby deserves no extra-ordinary Pardon. And that settles that.

It certain does, if Mr. Paul had simply said that in the debate. Unfortunately, he just had to make a little snide remark that Libby should not be pardoned DUE to Libby's record on Iraq. That is certainly not a "constitutional" position, but I guess we can take comfort in the fact Ron Paul didn't really "mean" that and was just airing out his personal "feelings" on Iraq.

Once again, the question is whether Paul "won" the debate and the hearts of minds of votes when he made remarks like that. You Ron Paul supporters really seem to have difficulty with the concept that the person who would make the "best" President in your eyes is not necessarily the best "debator" on stage.

I support Tommy Thompson, and I don't think he "won" the debate, though overall I'd say his answers were better thought that your guy lecturing everyone else on what is "constitutional"
