Props to Rand Paul...

[ElNono]

for filing the class action lawsuit against the NSA...

I might not share some of his political views, and I certainly find the social conservatism of his lead counsel in this case, Ken Cuccinelli, completely out of touch with reality.

But they should be commended for not just staying with the rhetoric, but following through and taking this to the courts, which is the proper channel to address constitutional questions.

Will misogynist Ayn Rand Paul thank Snowden for enabling Paul's publicity stunt?

Unfortunately, it looks like he stole it too:

The unceremonious jettisoning of a constitutional lawyer in favor of the man best known for his unsuccessful suit to have Obamacare declared unconstitutional suggests that Paul’s legal action has more to do with politics than the law. And there are other clues. In Fein’s version, Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) was listed as a plaintiff along with Paul, but in the final complaint the Democrat was gone and the tea party group FreedomWorks was added in his place. Both suits list as defendants the director of national intelligence, the FBI director and the director of the NSA, but Fein’s version had named the defense secretary and the attorney general. Cuccinelli’s version dropped those two — but added President Obama as a defendant, an incendiary change.

Rand Paul

Quietly working with Democrats who share his views on government intrusion to get the job done.
No shameless publicity stunts for political purposes.

Backfire deluxe.

Does Paul believe in more freedom than you want?

If you want a Democrat in office for another 4 years, hope Rand is successful. He will be destroyed in a National Election.

what do you mean?

You're right. Only fascists are electable in America.

The candidates supplied to us by both parties are fascists...
Christ... You are angry to the point of changing definitions.
