“After all, we can’t have pro-freedom, pro-Constitution, smaller/limited government ideas catching hold. That’d upset the balance of power between bigger government Democrat Socialists and their ideological counterparts in the bigger government GOP-e.”
I have been on the Rand Paul bandwagon but I think we can all agree that droning a guy running out of a liquor store with $50 bucks in his hand is not smaller govt. Rand seems to be fine tuning the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I am very disappointed in his immigration stance and this drone comment.
I see his stance as a more of a refusal to rule out legit use of a new tool. Replace warranted surveillance tools with something more cost effective.
He does not condone arming these domestic drones for regular law enforcement use. That much should be clear.
