[IMG]Rand Paul calls bulk surveillance ‘fundamentally unconstitutional’[/IMG]
[QUOTE]United States Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) blasted the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs during an interview over the weekend by calling the NSA’s tactics “fundamentally unconstitutional.”
Sen. Paul, a devout libertarian and long-time critic of the NSA, told Fox News Sunday host John Roberts that the Supreme Court should weigh in on the ever-escalating scandal surrounding the US spy agency’s practice of collecting vast troves of intelligence, including data pertaining to American citizens.[/QUOTE]

He gets points for being consistent, but that's about it tbh. For every good idea he has, there's 10 insane ones.
He also looks like a cartoon character who was wearing goggles in the face of an explosion and just took them off.
Good on him for saying that.
It's also illegal, unethical, and useless in the end.

And expensive to boot
It's kind of sad how completely right he is but none of the major news companies will give him a chance to properly express himself and his beliefs.
Wonder what would happen if he were to run for president. He's got allot more mainstream support and more republicans on his side than his dad ever did.

His dad was definitely a better man with far better ethics though.

He isn't really that consistent and he isn't that crazy.

I really want to like Rand, but I'm not sure I can get behind all of his ideas.

He was the one who stood up and demanded the use of drones in the US to be made clear, something which others had intentionally avoided because vague outlines are more useful to certain people than clear cut rules.
