You'll find on this forum people who loath Senator Paul so much that they'll twist themselves into a pretzel to oppose on principle any legislation he puts forward.

You'll also find people willing to jettison foundational legal principles like innocent until proven guilty, and also the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, if it can be argued to further the battle against the dangerous and illegal drug cartels. Oddly, they seem to think they're conservatives.

Well written; But, like the second amendment, I despair at enacting these laws, with the caveat “...and this time we MEAN IT!”

That such has become necessary is indicative of the demise of the former republic.

Sadly, some folks are always more than willing to defend the police state as long as someone can tie it to the war on drugs the constitution.
