Which begs the question: If he is so insignificant then why so much attention and why so much hate? Are unending wars and the unraveling of the order as you know it really that big a deal?

attention is only paid to him when paulians start spouting his nonsense....
knowing someone is an idiot isn't the same as "hating" them. i'm not sure why certain people get confused by things like that.
It isn't hate. It's a realistic view if his foreign policy.
Complete BS, a great deal of the threads are look at what a kook Paul is and aren't even started by his supporters. Look at how dumb his foreign policy is, look at how dumb his portfolio is, blah blahattention is only paid to him when paulians start spouting his nonsense....

Following the Constitution to the letter frightens a lot of people, unfortunately.
I am well aware of case law. Much of the decisions are frankly wrong.If Ron Paul had a better understanding of the Constitution and its case law, and acknowledged the danger posed by state and local governments to our civil liberties, Id be more inclined to support him.
That there are those who are ignorant of the Constitutions case law is just as unfortunate.Following the Constitution to the letter frightens a lot of people, unfortunately.
Everyone has to have a hobby, I guess.One important thing to note is it's the same 6-8 people that do 97% of all the Ron Paul hate on these boards.
That's a pretty honest assessment btw.

Its not hate, at least as far as I am concerned.
And its not really about Paul, either.
There are a significant number of Americans who agree with Paul, and his policies, most of which simply wrong, such as his position on states rights. for example. Paul warns of the tyranny of the Federal government yet would allow Americans to be subject to the tyranny of state and local governments. A loss of civil liberties is a loss of civil liberties, regardless the source.

His States Rights position is in sync with the tenth amendment.
From the beginning and for many years, the [Tenth A]mendment has been construed as not depriving the national government of authority to resort to all means for the exercise of a granted power which are appropriate and plainly adapted to the permitted end.
United States v. Darby
Personally if I have to choose which government could be more oppressive I'd go with local over federal. If I no longer like Texas or my county, I can move. Switching countries is a whole 'nother ballgame.

I am not a lawyer so I am not totally certain what you are calling "case law". Is that another term for "precedent"? If so, then I don't think that precedent is a good thing to base a decision on.
If a panel of eminent mathematicians declared 2+2 to be 3.9 ..... that would be wrong. If a later panel of eminent mathematicians called up that decision and decided the question was already answered, that would be equally wrong.
