There are lots of Holocaust deniers. Why is it the job of the US Congress to condemn them?

True, but since they did it anyway, it is very telling that Ronnie voted not to do so. If he wanted to make a statement about not doing this kind of thing, he should have not shown up for the vote.

Not necessarily. If his theory was that Congress is not empowered to make such condemnations or that this particular condemnation was not warranted, he should then have voted NO, which he did, rather than voting PRESENT.

Not necessarily.

Yes, very much necessarily.

If his theory was that Congress is not empowered to make such condemnations or that this particular condemnation was not warranted, he should then have voted NO, which he did, rather than voting PRESENT.

Oh come on. The question he was voting WAS NOT whether Congress should consider such things. Paul showed his true colors.
