    So signing the unconstitutional bill does nothing?

    If I can hijack this thread a little bit. I root for the worst possible outcomes in these protests because I believe we had a chance to fix this stuff we just chose not to. Maybe if it gets worse that will change.

    This anti lynching bill is nothing but empty rhetoric. What they are doing is giving law enforcement even more vague power. Mark my words, this change will be used against black people more than against people who hurt black people.

    You have repeatedly shown you have no idea what is in the constitution.

    But I appreciate your nonsensical contradictory defenses of "this bill will have very bad effects" and "this bill is pointless."

    Kamala as a prosecutor needs to shut the hell up on the issue. She was part of the problem and did nothing when she had the chance. Anyone with experience will tell you they rather have a prosecutor with integrity than a judge with integrity.



    They like Biden can only see this issue on the surface level. Every tool we give police they have to consider its potential for abuse. Just look at civil asset forfeiture. It was sold as a tool to take down kingpins but the average seizure is like 100 bucks.

    yeah, you can still overall not like rand paul and still find yourself on some of the same sides of issues

    just like the guy said in the 2nd clip

    that you think that is crazy or odd etc speaks volumes about you

    The experts have led us down multiple wrong paths in just a few short months.

    Rand is right. I can point you to a lot of "experts" who were dumbasses. The federal government's "expert" on marijuana for 30 years from late 30's to early 60's said he smoked marijuana once and it turned him into a bat. Watson "experts" were full of **** until I think the 90's.

    Rand Paul sticks his head out

    Let's hope there is some walk behind the talk

    good for Rand for speaking out clearly and without ambiguity about this
