Wrong. Paul has been against this long before there was every any thought of a White House run.

 

Yes, but he still is using it "big time" to get media time free. He's not alone, but let's not make this that Paul is not using it in his run. He clearly is.

It sounds like Paul has been passionate about this for a long time so it would make sense that he use his campaigning pulpit to broadcast his thoughts.

How in the world do you figure that? Invading someone's privacy and gaining access to their personal records and information is about as intrusive an action as you can get.

 

Being against the ACA and for the Patriot Act is every bit as much of a double standard and hypocritical as vice versa.

 

Again, when the SCOTUS declares it unconstitutional, I'll start worrying.

To say he isn't is just ignoring the obvious.

How can you say he's only against it because of his White House run, when it's been well documented he's been against it pretty much since its inception?

It's a double standard and hypocritical however you want to slice it.

Just because one can do a thing doesn't mean one should do that thing.

 

I, for one, don't think the SCOTUS will ever hear a case on this.

Is it possible, or even probable, that the Republican Party powers turn on him due to his stance on the Patriot Act?

Not if it's Rand Paul mano y womano v. Hillary.

They're already lining up to crucify him for this.

I'm sure if it comes down to that, they will back him, although I can't see win winning the Republican nomination. I was thinking more so during the Primary season.

Rand Paul has surprised me before, so I can't rule him out. I think he's a solid place horse behind Jeb Bush right now.

Jeb Bush..............UGHH!!!!!

Very possible, at least in the primaries.

Jeb Bush..............UGHH!!!!!

 

Good, bad or indifferent, that's what the GOP is staring at right now. I put him at about a 55-60 percent favorite to win the GOP nomination — it may be more.
