This is what happens when slogans crash into civics.
Everyone knows “nationalize elections” isn’t real policy, it’s a vibes-based threat meant to scare governors and excite donors. The system stays broken because nobody actually wants to fix the messy federal-state split, they just want a villain to point at.
Same circus, new soundbite.

Does Rand really think the Constitution matters to these people??

Rand Paul suddenly caring about the constitution is laughable

Paul is one the few conservatives who’s remained pretty consistent in his beliefs. Of course those beliefs are that poor people should die rather than receive help from the government, but he’s consistent nonetheless.

I swear it feels like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie are just about the only sane Republicans left.

Do you think he cares what the constitution says? Do you think his supports care? The constitution is no longer relevant because our elected officials are allowing trump and his goons to violate the constitution on a daily basis and they do nothing about it.

Rand Paul is adorable.
Trump: [violates constitution on a weekly basis for several years during two presidential terms]
Rand Paul: [fierce libertarian warrior against jack-booted government thuggery, 1 year into Trump’s presidential term] Heeyyy…..

Constitution says a lot of things.
Freedom from establishment of religion, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association, freedom for people to get together peacefully, and freedom for people to send petitions to their government.
We have the right to keep and bear arms.
Government can’t house troops in private homes.
People, their homes or their belongings are protected from unreasonable searches or seizures. Warrants may not be issued except upon probable cause, and must specifically describe the place to be searched and the person or thing to be seized.
People accused of a serious crime the right to be charged by a grand jury. Persons cannot be forced to give evidence against themselves. If a person is found not guilty of a crime, he/she cannot be put on trial for the same crime again. The federal government cannot unfairly take peoples’ lives, freedom or property. The government must pay a person for any property it takes for public use.
The right to speedy and public trial by an impartial jury if a person is accused of a crime. The accused has the right to be told of what they are accused. They have the right to a lawyer. They have a right to see and to question those people who accuse them of the crime.
The right for a trial by jury in civil cases.
Excessive bail or excessive fines will not be imposed and that punishment will not be cruel and unusual.
People have other rights that are not stated in the Constitution
People have all the rights not given to the United States government or forbidden to state governments by the US Constitution.
And this was added later but it’s expressly stated that every PERSON has these rights, not just citizens of the US.
For people who swear to uphold and defend the Constitution, a lot of elected leaders seem to forget what it says.

I don’t know how many Congress people are actually going to go for this. People don’t like giving up power, and people who still campaign on “state’s rights” would lose some votes over this.

Like Trump care about a piece of paper he can’t even read.

The Constitution is a remarkably short, accessible, and easy to understand document. An examination of all the ways that Rand Paul doesn’t understand it would have a higher word count. This is simply an example of a broken clock being right once.

“It’s just a god-damned piece of paper!”
— George W Bush, describing the Constitution
This has been a problem for a while. Authoritarians have a vision of how they think things should operate. And the Constitution was specifically engineered to forbid that vision.
