Ron Paul never votes for ANY of these non-binding resolutions. He views them as a tremendous waste of money since they have no force or effect whatsoever... but apparently they cost tens of thousands of dollars in printing/labor costs.

That can't be it. From here:

An anti-ICC amendment offered by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was passed by the House on a vote of 264 to 152 during consideration of the Defense Department authorization bill (H.R. 4546) on May 10. Paul's amendment, in the form of a non-binding resolution, expresses the sense of the Congress that none of the funds authorized to be appropriated by H.R. 4546 "should be used for any assistance to, or to cooperate with or to provide any support for, the International Criminal Court." Upon offering the amendment, Paul stated that its purpose "is to urge the President not to use any funds for the International Criminal Court" and to "indicate that Congress is behind him in his rejection of this unconstitutional global court."

I stand corrected and retract my criticism of Ron Paul, since I now understand his ferocious ethical position. Thank you for this insight into his voting pattern.
