Again it’s an interesting philosphical point that it’s not Constitutional, but why bring it up? 90% of what the FedGov does is unconstiutional. Medicare is unconstitutional. In Rand Paul going to run by telling us that Medicare is unconstitutional? We have, arguably, two parties dedicated to using elections to education citizens (and thereby forsaking any chance of winning power): the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party.
Among all of the unconstitional parts of the government probably the very worst to pick to criticize is the public accomodations. “Rand Paul thinks blacks shouldn’t be able to eat at Denny’s”.
We might hate spin doctors, but there is a reason that successful candidates hire and listen to campaign managers and PR profressionals. Is Rand serious about winning or just in it for his own amusement?
I am torn about this.
I understand how impractical it is, but I hope that maybe the current crisis is bad enough that it is possible to have a political campaign based on following the constitution.
Interstate commerce can be tortured to justify absolutly any government policy, including health care. Since 1937 republicans were slowly losing to dems as more and more unconstitutional legislation was passed. It is time to reverse this trend and go on the attack.
He’ll win.
Republican seat, McCain won there, bad year for Dems.
