Ron Paul's central theme of his campaign is that he is the only true constitutionalist. But is that true? I've been looking at his website and I have been noticing some strange issues.
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/life-and-liberty/"I am also the prime sponsor of HR 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn."
Since when does the United States congress have the constitutional right to tell the Supreme Court what cases they can rule on? I must have missed that part of the constitution.
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/border-security-and-immigration-reform/"End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong. "
One of his campaign issues is that he will end birthright citizenship for children of immigrants who came here illegally. But the 14th amendment says "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." So anybody born in America has the constitutional right to be a citizen of USA. The only way to change that is with a constitutional amendment, which the president has no say in. Why is he saying on his website that he will end birthright citizenship as president, if he does not have the constitutional to do it? Is this man really the constitutional warrior he says he is?
