Breaking News! Sen. Rand Paul is being illegally detained!

[howardroark]

... By the TSA at the Nashville Airport. This is according to the facebook feeds of Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Ron Paul, and Judge Andrew Napolitano.

U.S. Constitution... Article 1, Section 6
"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

Result?  Ron paul just went up 3 points in florida


(CNN) -- Authorities blocked U.S. Sen. Rand Paul at the Nashville airport Monday after the Kentucky Republican refused a pat-down at a security checkpoint, his spokeswoman said.
 
Paul went through a scanner at the airport and set off an alarm, said his spokeswoman, Moira Bagley. He wanted to go through the body scan again instead of getting a pat-down, but officers of the Transportation Security Administration refused, Bagley said.
 
Paul, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, is an outspoken critic of what he characterizes as an overly obtrusive federal government threatening to strip of citizens of various rights and civil liberties.
 
He is the son of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

How utterly absurd.   The TSA needs to go.

Cter in me says that ron sent rand to do this...

just 10 hours before the GOp debate...

in a state where TSA is despised and tea party is loved...

on purpose   to move conversation to civil liberties, where ron paul is #1.


Whattya think, 33?

[howardroark]

I'd say this is Rand Paul just being Rand Paul... People in the "Old World" are falling out of their seats laughing at us right now. Can you believe that a US Senator is:
1. Subject to pat-downs by TSA perverts and invasive body scanners?
and
2. Subject to being detained unconstitutionally by the US government?

What the hell?

[Bindare_Dundat]

The MSM is already portraying this as Rands fault. Lol good grief.

[Purge_WTF]

  What, did they think he had a bomb in his shoes?

 

[blacken700]

good, i have to go through them so should he

[howardroark]

Again, utterly unconstitutional:

"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

U.S. Constitution: Article 1, Section 6

He's been fighting for your right to not go through it. AND he was not allowed to go back through the machine. Furthermore, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to detain a Senator like this. The TSA must go and all of their thugs and perverts should be fired.

[blacken700]

it doesn't bother me one bit to have to go though the scanner,no big deal

[howardroark]

it doesn't bother me one bit to have to go though the scanner,no big deal

Again, he went through the scanner, something was wrong, so he wanted to go through the scanner again. The TSA goons refused to let him through the scanner again and wanted to pat him down. He insisted on going through the scanner again, so they detained him. This is all UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

But hey, I forgot that Obamabots like you only care about the Constitution and civil liberties when the Republicans control government.

Of coarse the bigger picture is lost on you, fool.

[tu_holmes]

It bothers me immensely... I went through it yesterday.

At first I was pissed because the guy in front of me was in the military and didn't even have to remove his boots... Thought that was bullshit.

Then I went through and he, an active member of our military, was being given the 3rd degree by some TSA snot bag.

This guy goes to die for these fuckers and they give his shoes a pass, then grab his nuts?

What is wrong with these clowns?

[blacken700]

so what, get the pat down, takes ten seconds,just wanted to make a big deal of it

[tu_holmes]

I'm sure in the 1930s someone said, "So what, just wear the star, it takes ten seconds to put it on."

Some people don't want to get their junk touched by TSA perverts.

BTW, someone save this comment for a few years from now when blacken is bitching about abuses of civil liberties when a Republican is in the White House.

Doesn't matter. What matters is that I don't want those government goons to feel me up.
