Judge Thomas Hogan of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia combined the cases and declared the law unconstitutional on February 12, 1998. This ruling was subsequently affirmed on June 25, 1998 by a 6-3 decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case Clinton v. City of New York. Justices Breyer, Scalia, and O’Connor dissented.

“He still bashes our party more than he does the democrats.”

His party bashes him more than democrats! Let’s not forget that there is an unwritten Republican rule that during debates the other candidates are to pretend that Ron Paul is invisible. Who is being loyal to whom?

If the GOP is good at anything, it is eating their own. Ask any candidate who runs for office who isn’t a conformicrat (e.g., Tea Party candidates). The GOP establishment attacks these candidates with a viciousness that would make many Democrats blush. Let’s face it, a band of pirates whows more loyalty to its members than the Republican establishment. Dr. Paul should be commended for valuing his country more than a den of thieves.

I really don’t have a thin skin and can take a lot of verbal abuse, but when I am accused of something that I am not guilty of, I have a problem with that. My boss gets mad at me because I refuse to back down when I know I am right. That’s my Dad cropping up in me, I suppose.

I’m not loyal to the GOP and I take a lot of heat for that, but I will not stray from my convictions to elect someone like John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney/Newt Gingrich/Herman Cain in 2012. I voted 3rd party in 2008 and will again in 2012 if necessary.
