But Mr. Paul’s position is complicated.

Not at all.

The Constitution is the cornerstone of his position and those who oppose the speak of Rand Paul oppose the dictate of the Constitution.

The perpetual political graying of the Constitution is what complicates a constitutional position.

But it is complicated. You have states rights in there as well. It’s not really discussed much, but it’s there. Some views of the US Constitution have the Democrat Jim Crow laws as ok, due to states rights / 10th. I don’t think that’s Rands view, but I don’t know. You also have 14th in there. Plessy v Ferguson, Brown v Board of Education. There are a lot of themes in there. You have property rights. And freedom of association. So it’s not quite as simple as The Constitution. Yes, The Constitution is the basis of his argument, but there are a lot of different threads.

I think I’ll throw a grenade in this thread and leave. At one time, the Constitution defined a Negro as 3/5 of a human being.
