'Non-birther' Rand Paul denigrates Constitution
Also ignores constitutional remedy of impeachment
By Alan Keyes
Sen. Rand Paul just "sidestepped questions about fellow Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) eligibility to run for president, saying he was not a 'birther.'" Paul's contempt for the requirements of the Constitution comes as no surprise to me, despite the fact that his supporters frequently pretend he is a staunch "constitutionist." But a staunch constitutionist would be careful to remember Joseph Story's admonition that acceptable constitutional construction "can never abrogate the text; it can never fritter away its obvious sense; it can never narrow down its limitations; it can never enlarge its natural boundaries."
Like almost everyone else who collaborates with the current two-party sham, Sen. Paul has chosen to abrogate the Constitution's natural-born citizen requirement when it comes to Barack Obama's eligibility. Now he thinks to prove his fair-mindedness by showing the same disregard for that constitutional requirement when it comes to Republicans. Apparently he thinks that both parties should have the prerogative to disregard the words of the Constitution when it serves their partisan aims.
But respecting the authority of the U.S. Constitution's provisions serves the common good of the American people. It has been the key to the orderly conduct of their affairs since the nation was founded. Is it fair to the nation to permit abrogations of that authority so long as political parties are given equal license to engage in them? Is it worthy of someone who claims, as a matter of principle, to respect the Constitution?

Rand Paul blows it again!
Rand Paul is supporting this amendment to NDAA that falls far short of fixing the problem.
In fact it might make things worse by muddying the water legally.

There is a new effort and PAC underway to run Sen. Rand Paul for president in 2016. No thank you. He continues to blunder on too many things.
This Week In News For Senator Rand Paul - November 30, 2012
"Please allow me to update you on this week's events here in our nation's capital and on a very important issue back home in Kentucky.
"A Victory for Americans' Right to Trial by Jury
"This week I took to the Senate floor to voice my support for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) sponsored by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah).
"The amendment would invoke the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution with regard to indefinite detention of American citizens. I indicated my intention to push for a vote on this amendment and has threatened to filibuster the NDAA bill until a vote is granted. Click HERE or below to watch my speech in support of the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution and the Feinstein-Lee NDAA Amendment.
"Finally that evening, the Senate voted on the Feinstein-Lee Amendment to the NDAA that I co-sponsored. It would protect the rights prescribed to all Americans in the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution with regard to indefinite detention and the right to a trial by jury. Moments before the vote, I spoke on the Senate floor to again voice my support for the amendment and inspire my Senate colleagues to do the same."
Wrong, again, Dr. Paul.
