Comment: Why wouldn't Rand Paul support the Amash ammendment?

(See in situ)


Why wouldn't Rand Paul support the Amash ammendment?

Justin Amash moved to simply strike the offensive section of the NDAA. If Rand Paul truly believes in liberty, why would he not support that? The U.S. is not a war zone. We already have a police force and court system to deal with crimes in the U.S.

Rand Paul is walking a tightrope trying to appeal to libertarians and tea party types while not really upsetting the status quo. He is just another politician trying to obtain more power. In all of his actions, I think he has "Rand Paul 2016" in his mind more than protecting individual liberties.
