I believe that saving life is more important than parsing words, that is not the ends justifying the means.

When you live in a constitutional republic, and the words your parsing is their constitution, it is exactly that.

The ‘commerce clause’ was interpreted from the Constitution, how that is applied is a matter of debate.. the ‘vague reference’ is the fact that in some people’s opinion, people think that is the justification for these laws, and not the 14th amendment. But again, it goes to priority.. I don’t trust Paul regarding anything regarding national security or other issues.. Based on Paul’s history, if the shit ever hit the fan, I’m afraid he wouldn’t do anything because the words ‘red phone’ and ‘football’ wasn’t in the Constitution..

-If there is one thing that makes me sick, its when someone tries to hide behind politics- Joey Ramone.

I find it funniest, however, that Paul can vote any way on any issue and his minions will bow down before him because he claims it is because of the Constitution, even if it has nothing to do with the Constitution.
