I always knew Santorum was strong on homeschooling, I also took his line on the 10th amendment as what it was, the tenth gives NO states the right to do things that will drasticallly change society as a whole. Slavery, gay marriage or whatever.
Rick might not win the nomination but he has won my respect, moreso than he already had.
You pretty much hit it. Candidates like Paul think the ‘state’ part of the 10th amendment is the end-all-be-all of the issue ignoring the ‘or to the people’ and the fact that individual rights trump state’s rights. A State doesn’t have a blank check if it infringes on an individual’s rights.
