In reality Ron Paul and his supporters know a lot less about the Constitution than the average Republican.

Then the average Republican must not know very much. And Ron Paul is a booster of Spooner?

And Ron Paul is a booster of Spooner?

In his book - Freedom Under Siege - Ron Paul promotes the Constitution-hating Lysander Spooner (whom he refers to simply as a "19th century writer") by pitching Spooner's notion that juries have the right to usurp the Constitutional right of the Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of legislative statutes.

His treatment of Spooner is one of uncritical adulation.

This is the same Spooner who is best known for his anarchist treatise: "No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority" which argues that the Constitution is invalid, not the law of the land, and can be safely ignored.
