What this should demonstrate to all of you is how far Congress has drifted from following the document that they are sworn to uphold! If anything, this should be a rallying cry for EVERY American. Educate yourself.
Of course, your position might be different if you feel that the piece of paper and ideals that formed this nation, is outdated and open to broad interpretation of what the founders intended.

Can we please have an MSM forum? You know, a place to put threads like this.
Then, everyone would be forewarned.
LOL...and I guess you and Ron Paul are the only people that know what the founders "intended".
This thread deserves to moved to the hoax section of this site.
1. A large majority of the bills presented by Ron Paul were then assigned to Committee. This following quote is from OS's own site and information presented.
...
Now if you go back and look at the Bills presented by Ron Paul, it would seem many of them were assigned a Committee, so in essence does that not mean the bills were up for consideration?
Did anyone bother to see how many co-sponsors these bills had? So what is a co-sponsor?
The more I dig into this, the more I am realizing that this entire thread is a complete misrepresentation of facts. With that in mind, this thread should be moved to the HOAX section until such a time that the OP can prove his claims and determine what actually happened with each of these proposed bills. Just simply linking a list which clearly states that these bills went to Committee (which is not common as most receive no consideration) and declaring them all as failures (when the OP's own source clearly states that these bills may have been incorporated with other bills) is completely misleading and disingenuous.

What happens when the STATE decides that black students and white students cannot attend the same schools?
It violates the rights of people in that very state.
You could say "Oh, they should move somewhere else if they don't like it!"
But, what if ALL 50 states pass the same law (highly unlikely but you get my drift?)?
That's why the feds step in to maintain a balance of equality.
I am so SICK of hearing promises from these greasy liars in office, Obama being at the top of that list. You know what's sad? We have come to EXPECT it.

Here is the one that will tip the scales.
Ron Paul claims to be in love with the Constitution and would not do anything against it.
Well, down the toilet with that one too.
Here is a Bill he made that would Strip power from the Supreme Court. We all know this is impossible, the Supreme Court overlooks the lawmakers and can revue any Law passed in the land to revue its Constitutionallity.
Well not if Ron Paul had his way....

Perfectly constitutional.
Please tell me how this is not.
It attempts to remove a Constitutional Power from one of the three branches of government, the Supreme Court.
This is the smoking gun that even proves he is a liar when it comes to defending the Constitution.
The only way to change the powers the Supreme Court has is through a Constitutional Amendment.
