He enjoys a Zero percent rating from the National Abortion Rights Action League.
I believe the Constitution foresaw military operations short of war. At the time these were covered by "letters of marque and reprisal."
Privateers were ships licensed to prey on the vessels of other nations with whom we had a bone to pick.
Unfortunately, Abortion is a non-issue. Even if we reconstituted the Supreme Court entirely with Alito and Roberts clones, the Supreme Court holds starae decisis so tightly that they will not overrule Roe v. Wade. Abortion will be legal as long as the Supreme Court subscribes to that philosophy.
The fight, therefore, must be ensuring that abortion is rare. A mixture of regulation and social pressures can accomplish what the Supreme Court never will.
Does Ron Paul have broad enough appeal to be able to win the general? Hunter could get crossover support from American manufacturing because of his strong (and Reaganesque) views on free, fair trade. That's a reason to have hope for him in the general, esp. against a far-left Stalinist like the two Dem frontrunners. Would Rep. Paul, with his conservative social stances, likewise be capable of pulling in votes from the center?
Please change should to must (:. Beginning at least as far back as Korea a whole host of traitors are not legally traitors because Congress shirked its duty to declare War: I’m not Fonda Jane, Ramsey Clark, & Tom Hayden come immediately to mind.
I suggest the meaning of words such as isolationist be well understood before used to describe a Presidential candidate.
I, like Taft & Buchanan, favor the (so-called) isolationism of our first President, & by far our greatest, George Washington; those who would not support any treaty that could involve us, by treaty, in a war; or to yield one word of our national sovereignty.
That, as a pejorative, is thrown around in political discourse as much as (so-called) hyper-Calvinism is charged in discussion/debate by Christians.
The only way for Congress to support the troops is to publicly repent their attacks, give advise & consent & argument behind the scene, remind the public that our form of governance is representative, not (as in polls) democratic. Vote 'em out next time around
I opposed going to (so-called) war before we were in it simply in respect of the advice of our first President all the while admitting that I might have been/ still be wrong. I also oppose the novel idea of preemptive war.
Having said that, once the shooting starts the nay saying stops & I/we trust that God is sovereign in all the affairs of men.
Good night, as in "It is well with my soul", all.
