Senator Rand Paul Says The Supreme Court Decision Doesn’t Matter Obamacare Is Still Unconstitutional

[SunsetDreams]

A number of reactions were shown after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. However, few elected officials went as far as Senator Rand Paul when he explicitly blasted the Supreme Court as wrong and unqualified to decide constitutional matters. Paul’s disagreement with the court’s decision would clearly mean that he also does not agree with the United States Constitution, which designates the Court as responsible for ruling on the constitutionality of laws. In his statement released after the Court’s decision, he indicated that he felt that the Court’s “incorrect” decision still did not mean that the law was constitutional:

Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional. While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right.

For the record, Paul also believes that Medicare, Social Security and the federal ban on whites-only lunch counters are unconstitutional.

8. Racists like Paul should not be allowed to hold office

Rand Paul is a racist, anti-semite, anti-women, anti-gay and anti-everything including he and his dad are actually anti-consittution and probably right at home with the David Duke's and all.
(same people who were all over Ron Paul's literature and supporters of their campaigns).

These far right extremists, where they spew the constitution, Hell, bet they never read it.
Their idea of justice is the old old wild west or back to the days of lynching minorities.

America is smarter than to go back to the days of the gun rules wild west, KKK and the John Birch Society.

Google Jorg Haider in Austria. My mom, who had to flee Austria back in the Nazi days, made this connection a few years back. To think that Rand was elected Senator(a post he himself believes should not even be an elected post, yet he hypocritically ran as one), makes you wonder about the people of Kentucky who voted for him. What the hell were they smoking?

9. I bet Kentucky is so proud.
