STFU, Rand... what do YOU know about war? nothing.?

All too often Senator Paul appears to be the only one in Washington DC who has actually read the Constitution.

“All too often Senator Paul appears to be the only one in Washington DC who has actually read the Constitution.”

He sometimes misinterprets the Constitution. A President can respond to and defend the nation and its interests against short term military attacks and imminent dangers when threatened. Congress reaffirmed that authority with the War Powers Act.

Another thing, I understand and respect his beliefs regarding non foreign intervention and how the founding fathers warned against foreign entanglements, I get all that and I’m generally supportive of that position. I supported President Trump’s decision on withdrawing from Syria for example. But this is 2020, not 1787. With technology that exists now, enemies half way around the world now have a greater ability to threaten us as opposed to what existed back then, and Paul needs to understand that.

It has nothing to do with constitution.
Rand doesn’t agree with the middle east policy implemented by American government.
