Tea party-backed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) isnt willing to give the United States Supreme Court the final say on whether or not President Barack Obamas health care reform law is constitutional.
In a statement posted to his website on Thursday after the court declared the that law did not violate the U.S. Constitution, Paul rejected the courts authority.
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be constitutional does not make it so, Paul insisted. The whole thing remains unconstitutional.

I guess Rand is stupider than I thought. Even I know that the Supreme Court Makes the laws..It just does....So in 1893, in Plessy vs
Ferguson, the Supreme Court ruled "separate but equal" is the law (so segregation was codified in many laws)..and in l954 in Brown vs Board of Ed..it said that "separate but equal" is not the law...So out it came..slowly but it was illegal..
That is what the Supreme court does. Rand Paul doesn't know shit. Of course he doesn't like the call today, but last week he probably liked the call about corporations are..."people" {overturning Montana Law) and can donate cash to him. He is an asshole. All of us know more than him. You don't like the word Ass****? Well Rand would do away with social security as we know it. and medicare too. I just had an operation that cost $150,000, and I couldn't afford it without medicare.. So, it is the law, Rand is an ass**** and medicare is ok with me. And it is cconstitutional...FU** Him

(38,421 posts)Mr.Rand Paul...or someone I will call F***face..
F***face..this is called ..."The Preamble"...exact words
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Now....the "general Welfare", and "Posterity" are often defined as "being well and healthy"... our posterity..helping the kids.. and having a decent life..
Now Fu**face... Most of us would agree that taxes are ok to help "promote the general Welfare" and "Posterity" Today, the court said it could use those taxes to improve peoples "health"...You don't want to do that, but, you are an Ass****.
One of the great teachers said something like .."Help the Poor"...but you don't believe in him either... probably cause he was a different religion than you.. So...F***face, go back to high school and read the Constituion or take an intro course in Constituional
History...I will be glad to teach you...
