Please step aside, Rand. Your 15 minutes of fraud are up.
There should be a way for felons to get their franchise restored, but it should not be quick or easy.
No more Bushs, no more Clintons, no more Pauls.
That Paul boy ain’t right....
Rand is a looney as his old man !
And I thought his dad was the nutty one...
Why is it that we have to get. A daily dose of this guy here on a conservative forum?
No, it does not. That decision says:
When Congress legislates with respect to the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding congressional elections, it necessarily displaces some element of a preexisting legal regime erected by the States. Because the power the Elections Clause confers is none other than the power to preempt (the states), the reasonable assumption is that the statutory text (of the National Voter Registration Act) accurately communicates the scope of Congress’s preemptive intent.Rand is legally correct on this one. If Congress chooses to write legislation that affects the manner in which states hold federal elections, it supersedes state laws....
The power of Congress over the “Times, Places and Manner” of congressional elections “is paramount, and may be exercised at any time, and to any extent which it deems expedient; and so far as it is exercised, and no farther, the regulations effected supersede those of the State which are inconsistent therewith.”
(Parenthetical additions are mine.)
The Paul Rand nut doesn’t fall far from the tree ... LOL ...
No need for any new proposal of legislation. The corrupt democratic party would be issuing voter’s rights to criminals that do not quality for restoration of their voting rights (some citizens do deserve such). Rand Paul should flip party.
Hard to say, but he apparently takes it about as seriously as Barack Obama.
You have to give Chaim Ben Pesach credit. When everyone here (including me) was in love with Rand Paul for his anti-drone filibuster, Chaim was telling everyone that Rand was a left winger.
