>> But are they the sole legitimate interpreter of the US constitution like Levin is? He is like Moses interpreting the commandments. His opinion trumps the SCOTUS, and he works for the Landmark legal foundation too. You diss Levin and you must hate the constitution. <<

Very true. I would make a case that Levin and Paul are unique in that their creepy fan clubs claim their guy is all-wise and all-knowing SOLE arbitrator of the U.S. Constitution. Once their self appointed sage & guardian of the Constitution has made a statement on something, the matter is now settled constitutional law, until he changes his mind.

Thus, as Levin decrees, the U.S. Constitution must give Senators the power to block all judicial appointments during a Democrat administration, but this power is not in effect during Republican administrations.

And, as Paulbots will tell you, the U.S. Constitution somehow gives Congressmen the power to ban partial birth abortion at the federal level, but NOT to ban abortion for gender selection at the federal level. After all, that is how the God-like "Dr. Paul" voted, and he is the only member of Congress who believes in the Constitution and has a perfect constitutional record.

Ron gave a great house floor speech opposing TARP fall 2008.
Besides that ???

Here's an example. Ron would claim we have no business even helping Israel with $$$$. If the muzzies drove the Israelies back on those refugee boats, after killing some, Paul would say ‘its none of our business’

To him the Israelies are no different than the Syrian rebels.

Alternatively Levin was a GWB adventurism cheerleader, and as it went sour then it was all those being critical of Bush's fault. Oh, and if the US detained you infinitely under GWB with no judicial hearing, then you must be a terrorist, But under Obama its unconstitutional. His banner changed from 'the gubment keeps you safe as safe is #1' to 'the gubmt is our enemy , as freedom is #1'.

RE :”And, as Paulbots will tell you,..”

Back in 2009 and 2010 a number of them befriended me because regardless of the 2008 disaster the GWBush invasion policy was still seen here by most as patriotic and I was unashamed to point out how many problems it caused us .

So this one over enthused ~ 50 Paul bot ...babe was a Serbian American and we became friends but she rejected me eventually because I couldn't accept Paulisms as Gospel.
After being suckered by GWB, I approached each new 'conservative' Savior with skepticism and don't just take positions on issues just cos someone else said so.

So this Serb babe Paulist was trying to convince me that ALL drugs must be legalized, because the laws and enforcement are worse than the drugs.

And with pot there is an argument worth debating.

So I pointed out that crack and crystal Meth produce zombies out of human beings. Zombies who we take care of. Why would I fight to legalize those? I told her to see what those people are like and what it does to their families.

Boom, I am out of the club. You just gotta be an absolutist these days.
