Heh, yes. Apparently "states rights" is supposed to mean "let's allow states to oppress the minority population".

I'm totally digging the idea of Texas making homosexuality a felony and the Federal courts not being able to do a damned thing about it. I mean, that's fair, right? Right?!?!

It's all about stopping the federal government from trampling states' rights so that those states can feel free to trample the rights of their own citizenry unabated. Yee hah. America, fuck yeah.

It's pretty egregious, but at least people could - and would - still vote with their feet. I'm sure Paul would allow them that much, at least, unlike that fascist fuckhead Schumer and his fucktastic EX-PATRIOT Act.

Paul is nowhere close to perfect, but sadly he is infinitely better than the vast, vast majority of politicians.

I love that act. It's hilarious and so bloody petty that you can't help but laugh at it. Without a doubt, it's a really stupid proposal. But at least it isn't really that dangerous. Unlike the We The People Act, which advocates a complete re-tooling of governmental power and how we enforce it.
