Rand Paul: 'Bulls**t' to ramp up NSA surveillance post-Paris

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says claims the government needs to ramp up surveillance in the wake of the Paris attacks are "bulls**t." "So when they stand up on television and say the tragedy in Paris means you have to give up your liberty, we need more phone surveillance — bulls**t!" Paul, a 2016 presidential contender, said during a campaign event at George Washington University on Thursday.The attacks in Paris, which took the lives of at least 129 people, have renewed the debate over government surveillance and encryption of communications devices.Legislation passed by Congress earlier this year will shutter the National Security Agency's (NSA) phone data ...

Bush Says No National Right to Gun Ownership? By Dave Dolbee published on November 10, 2015 in News Jeb Bush recently made an appearance on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert when the subject of whether there is a national right to gun ownership came up. Bush’s answer may be concerning to many, but let’s reserve judgment until we look at the entire story. However, whether his answer was his true opinion or a gaff, is concerning. During the interview, Colbert asked a written-in question regarding the Constitution and whether it implied a national right to gun ownership. Jeb Bush, a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, veered a bit off course when his answer drifted ...

tenthamendmentcenter.com States Don’t Have to Comply: The Anti-Commandeering Doctrine Most Americans believe that the federal government stands absolutely supreme. Nobody can question its dictates. Nobody can refuse its edicts. Nobody can resist its commands. This is simply not true. Laws passed in pursuance of the Constitution do stand as the supreme law of the land. But that doesn’t in any way imply the federal government lords over everything and everybody in America. First off, as James Madison asserted in Federalist 45, the powers of the federal government are “few and defined.” So federal power actually extends into only a few spheres. Most power and ...

Two short-tempered men run into each other in a bar in Enid, Oklahoma. The combustible mixture of alcohol and ego produces the predictable reaction – a brief, stupid, and inconclusive fight in which neither side is seriously injured. When police officers arrive on the scene, onlookers expect that both parties to the altercation will be hauled away in handcuffs.However, after one of them produces a police credential, he is allowed to handcuff the other and place him under arrest for a felonious assault on an off-duty law enforcement officer. It doesn’t matter that the individual making the arrest might have been the same one who started the fight.This scenario is made entirely ...
Drinking and Driving vs. Drunk Driving

It is important to make distinctions. To know exactly what we are talking about before we “do something” about it. For instance, drinking and driving and drunk driving. There is a distinction to be made here. An important one. Why on earth should it be illegal – a crime – merely to have been drinking and driving? Emphasis on merely. Put another way, why should it be a punishable offense to have been drinking when one’s driving can’t be faulted? Unless of course the object of the exercise is to impose a kind of low-rent Prohibition – to punish people for drinking – this makes no sense at all. But it does seem to be the object of ...

Judge says drone was invading the privacy of the man who shot it (case dismissed)

William Merideth, the man from Kentucky who shot down a drone earlier this year, told WDRB that he felt vindicated after a district judge dismissed the charges against him, even if the accuser can still take the case before a grand jury. He was originally charged for firing his gun within city limits, but the judge has decided on Monday that the drone invaded his privacy, giving him the right to shoot it. The judge came to that conclusion after two witnesses testified that the UAV flew below the tree line of Merideth's property. However, the Phantom 3 drone's owner and pilot, David Boggs, provided Ars Technica with a video back in August showing that his machine was flying 200 feet ...

On the other hand, some judges take an aggressive stance toward laws and regulations that take away people’s property, impede their ability to engage in legitimate commerce, restrict their freedom of speech, or interfere with their rights to defend ...

Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% where he stands on allowing shooting victims to sue gun manufacturers. Sanders made it clear that he is opposed to holding gun store owners liable, but he believes there is room to hold manufacturers liable to some degree. Todd’s question was based on the fact that Sanders voted for the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which President George W. Bush signed into law in 2005. Speaking on Meet the Press, Sanders acknowledged his vote for the PLCAA, then said: That was a complicated vote and I’m willing to see changes in that provision. ...
