I don’t have the quote to hand but Jefferson said that the Federalist papers are the highest authority on constitutional interpretation.

"Dancing is a healthy and elegant exercise, a specific against social awkwardness, but an accomplishment of short use, “for the French rule is wise, that no lady dances after marriage…gestation and nursing leaving little time to married lady when this exercise can be either safe or innocent.” (Nock, 1966, p. 58).
Paul’s uniformed spokesperson Army Corporal Jesse Thorsen(mugshot above.)
‘Army Reserve spokeswoman Maj. Angel Wallace said participating in a partisan political event in uniform is a violation of Defense Department rules and the military is reviewing whether Thorsen could face legal ramifications.’
As well as being a former burglar(stolen firearm, burglary tools, breached parole) Thorsen and Paul also lied about his military service:
Paul introducing Thorsen in Iowa:
“He’s been serving in the military ten years and he’s been overseas a lot, and a lot of it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Thorsen:
“I’m really excited about a lot of his ideas, especially when it comes to bringing the soldiers home,” he told CNN. “I’ve been serving for 10 years now and all 10 years of those have been during wartime. I would like to see a little peace time Army.”
Official statement from Army about Thorsen:
“Cpl. Jesse Thorsen, an Army Reserve Soldier, stands alone in his opinions regarding his political affiliation and beliefs, and his statements and beliefs in no way reflect that of the Army Reserve.”
The statement also revealed that Thorsen was only ‘deployed once in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2009(to Afghanistan.)’ Also states that Thorsen has a total of six years in the reserves and national guard not ten years.
Is Newt the answer? This video is from '09.
He is NO DIFFERENT than the current leader of the free world.

Paul openly lied on national television and claimed that the IEAE report(he called it the UN report by mistake) was fabricated evidence and that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons. Within 30 seconds he was explaining that Iran is right to pursue nuclear weapons(even though he said they aren’t) because they need them to protect themselves from our aggression. What a despicable liar.

Ja, its alright, they cant hurt you anymore…
Once you have recovered from your Vietnam flashbacks here are the IEAE reports:
Yes, thanks orion. Despite the years of appeasement by el Baradei the last three reports finally concede that Iran is on a structered path to building nuclear weapons. And the information in the public domain about their Plutonium processing facilities and their missile testing has been available for years.
‘According to the IAEA report, which was published Tuesday, Iran worked on developing a nuclear bomb at least up until last year, carrying out various projects and experiments aimed at developing a nuclear device. There is no credible evidence that Tehran has abandoned its nuclear ambitions, the report says. The IAEA’s conclusion is that it is quite possible that Iran is continuing to work on the bomb.’
'At first glance, the report comes as no surprise. In military circles, it is an open secret that Iran has been trying to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons and to develop a nuclear explosive device.
What is new, however, is that the IAEA has now joined the ranks of those who are warning of the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. Under former director general, Egypt’s Mohamed ElBaradei, who headed the IAEA from 1997 to 2009, the reports from the Vienna-based agency always read the same: The IAEA had asked Iran for more cooperation and transparency, but Tehran had turned a deaf ear and only granted limited access to IAEA inspectors. Year after year, the conclusions that ElBaradei drew from the brief reports sounded similar: There was no proof against the Iranians, so they were left alone. In 2005, ElBaradei, together with the IAEA, won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. In 2009, he was succeeded by Yukiya Amano of Japan.
The IAEA had known for years what the Iranians were doing with their nuclear program, wrote commentator Ben Caspit in the Maariv newspaper. But the agency, which is precisely the institution that is supposed to stop nuclear proliferation, stood idly by as Iran attained the capacities to build an atomic bomb step by step, he claimed. Caspit accused El Baradei, who he dubbed an “Egyptian clown,” of being a “collaborator” with the Iranian regime. He claimed that El Baradei had given the Iranians the “valuable time” they needed.
The fact that El Baradei, who is being accused of siding with Iran, is running as a candidate in next year’s Egyptian presidential elections has caused additional concern in Israel. The report must trigger “hard questions” in Egypt, writes the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.’
Interesting thing about Ron Paul. I’ve come to learn more about libertarianism and have come to agree with some of it. Of course Paul’s ‘ideas’ didn’t originate with him or his little cabal of paleolibertarian crackpots. Fortunately some of the leading libertarian thinktanks have outed Paul(Reason Magazine, Cato Institute etc.)
EDIT: Having said that I have deep reservations about libertarianism. I don’t want to go into it now. I might at another time.
Yeah, the last 3 ones being from 2003.
Right now, all that we know is that they worked on one until roughly 2002-2003 and then they stopped.
Meaning, they stopped long before this ridiculous blustering.
I keep hearing all about Ron Paul’s military service for which we are all eternally grateful - unlike that neo-con warmonger John McCain who played it safe snoozing away most of the war in a cozy Vietcong prison camp - but now I’ve learned that Ron Paul would’ve also been a world-class track and field star if it wasn’t for his knee injury. Ron Paul’s just the greatest. Or if he isn’t it’s just because of his knee or the establishment/NWO or something. You just don’t understand his positions.

No I meant the three IAEA reports in your link dated 18 November, 2 September and 24 May 2011 that outline Iran’s nuclear weapons program in very guarded terms - see my comment above.

“Outed Paul”?
In what way?. Although I have not read much from Cato in the last few months, Reason has continued to have high praise for Paul. Was this an attempt to discredit Paul by hoping that others would simply take your statement as fact?

Pretty late. Happy to provide more sources on paleo-crackpot Paul tomorrow.
I’ll say this about Paul he’s consistent. Three Presidential runs and three last place finishes!
NICE!
