"He wanted a proper declaration of war"

The Constitution does not prescribe a specific manner how war should be declared. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison all waged wars with Congressional authorizations of force, but not a formal declaration of war. For Ron Paul to think that he knows the Constitution better than our Founding Fathers is judicial activism.

Since he is in the Congress, how do you get by calling his views "judicial activism"???
