Me too, I believe he was mistaken by not objecting, but at least he is using a Constitutional argument for not doing so. In my opinion, he just failed to consider the fact that he is a check and balance to the other branches of government.
Be it still, Rand Paul remains the one in Congress I trust the most to do what is right Constitutionally... even when it results in something against his own favor or desire. That is something that cannot be bought or found in most men. May we place 99 more like him in the Senate!
Rand made a few tweets today which seem to be regarding this, as he pretty much always does to explain himself at least. While I respectfully disagree with his decision, it is nice to have his reasoning, and I do not believe he is part of the swamp
Yes, principled people can distinguish between the desired outcome and the right way to achieve it. Now this is laudable, but politicians are often vile liars. So if you’re trying to play by the strictest interpretation at all times you will keep your conscience clear but let your constituents suffer horribly, perhaps even watch the nation fall. It’s a tough call because once you start going in for the ends justify the means you’re well on your way to being another swamp creature.
I think Dr. Ron Paul and Dr. Rand Paul are patriots and fine men as far as I can tell. But we probably wouldn’t want them leading the fight for the survival of the nation.
The house elections are closer to their people, Sentaors are state wide and rarely face their constituents.
Many of the senators are part of the swamp. We've learned that. Looking at you Lindsey Graham.
I’m super disappointed Rand Paul did not object

I am too!
Was looking for his name as well

He said the "principle" is that the election was stolen fair and square. He is a traitor and should hang.
Someone else on his feed posted that anyone "supporting the action" should be charged. Three times they said that.
Thought Police.
That's because we haven't repealed the evil 17th Amendment yet. Restore the true Constitution!
