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.

Ah the Ex-patriot act. I can't even remember the last time there was such a vindictive stupid law proposed based on one guy leaving the country.

The only thing i discovered from the hubbub around the Ex-Patriot act is that the government already does what i think they should do to people leaving the country for tax reasons: Tax all of their assets as if they had liquidated all of them when they leave. Anything else would be a bit over the top, especially because American billionaires tend to stick around compared to other countries' billionaires.
