Rand Paul: I Don’t Like Being Lectured On The Constitution By An Administration That Tramples It
Argues he signed the Iran letter as a message to Obama.
 


   JUSTIN KOSKI — MARCH 11, 2015

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., slammed the Obama administration at a Foreign Relations Senate Committee meeting about being lectured about the Constitution by an administration that routinely ignores and subverts it.

Quote
This is an administration who I believe has trampled the Constitution at many turns. This is an administration that seeks to legislate when it is not in their purview, whether it be immigration, whether it be health care, or whether it now be a war that’s been going on for eight months without congressional authorization.

Paul continued in his rant by remarking on signing Tom Cotton’s open letter to Iran that said any agreement reached on Iran’s nuclear program would have to be approved by Congress. He said that the letter was really a message to Obama and an administration that doesn’t understand the role of Congress.

“The message was to President Obama, that we want you to obey the law, we want you to understand the separation of powers,” Paul said. “The president says, ‘Oh, the Congress won’t do what I want, so I’ve got a pen and I’ve got my phone and I’m going to do what I want.’ The letter was to you.”

If only ALL Republicans would repeat this message whenever they got in range of a microphone.

Wouldn't that be something?

Rand Paul  may not be a "John Holmes".   But at least he's obviously got one.   

Refreshing to read a Republican fighting and responding back.

Rand knows Americans are looking for a leader. Especially one that can rally people around the Constitution and liberty. What a refreshing change of pace that would be.

So far, the only potential candidates that would have a hard time defeating Hillary are those of the GOPe club; Bush, Christie and Rubio.  Paul, Walker, Jindal, Cruz, and Perry won't have any problem defeating her and the DEMS know it and are in a panic. They are hoping that they can push Warren into running.      :tongue2:
