Right Thinking From The Left Coast
"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

To Ron Paul or Not To Ron Paul…
by Lee

That seems to be the question these days.  Take a look at this post over at Snarky Bastards, in which the author—not a Ron Paul fan—admits that when asked about the war, the only Republican candidate who gives the right answer is Paul himself.  Here’s his summation.

Note to all candidates: I would rather be exposed to a slightly greater risk of death by terrorist attack than have a president who ignores the constitution at his convenience. Checks and balances are designed to make our government inefficient, clunky, and slow to act.  It’s supposed to be that way. I like it that way.

That is EXACTLY how I feel about all this.  Every time I think about some dickhead undermining the blessed Constitution and using as an excuse the need to “ptorect Amurka from terrists” my skin just crawls.

You wouldn’t put up with this shit if a Democrat were doing it, so why give the GOP a pass?
