“If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.” —
George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796
“Ron Paul believes that violations of the Constitutional authority of the Federal Government is wrong even when the causes under which it might do so are just. He is a strict Constitutional originalist.”
Originalist? Even the original authors of the consitution were not like this. If they were we would not have:
-Religious services being held in the capital building while Washington DC was being built.
-Congressional chaplains around since the beginning of the federation
-The Lousiana purchase
One can go on and on an on with examples. And as you point out: Ron Paul’s extremism does not lead to justice as his votes against children and civil rights prove.
