“Asked what role he sees for the federal government in education, Paul replied: “None. Nothing in the Constitution provides for a federal role.”

Nothing in the Constitution provides for a federal role in the shrimping industry either, but as we all know, Ronnie submitted earmarks for the shrimping industry in his district.

I wonder why we keep focusing on the 'Shrimp' earmarks, when in that list of earmarks, there is one that is far more disturbing, the creation of a Federal Child Tracking Database. (ala Digital Angel.)

This hits against what people claim Paul stands for on several fronts.

Good point. I may need to use that with one of my co-workers. Do you have a citation?
