If you wish for a return to the limited government established by our founding fathers, a government that provides personal liberty, a secure border, sound money, low taxes and a balanced federal budget you have only one choice – Ron Paul. Ron Paul will end the war, restore Habeas Corpus, repeal the Patriot Act and abolish the private banking monopoly that is the Federal Reserve.

Only one candidate understands the role of judges, big surprise, it's Ron Paul. Is there any topic this man is not an expert on?

Wow! The first 3 candidates seemed honest enough with their views, until I was blown away by Ron Paul's in-depth knowledge and real solutions to the problem! It made the other candidates answers look like typical-political speak. Ron Paul seems more honest and effective.

Ron Paul is right. The courts should have a smaller role in shaping our laws. Lord knows that Roberts and Alito agree with him. Time Magazine wrote an entire piece on "the great shrinking Supreme Court" and how they've accepted fewer cases under Roberts than any time in recent history. Looks like we chose the wrong candidate to speak at our Annual Convention. Next year, I vote for Ron Paul!

I agree that Ron Paul would have the greatest impact of the four candidates. Not only would he be the most effective in gaining the support of Congress on his appointments, but he would also revive the notion of enforcing the Constitution in the Executive Branch. This means bringing the Executive Branch power back to its proper role in government. For example, if President Ron Paul eventually dissolved the Department of Education, states will be able to again define their own education systems. Also, President Paul will be more likely to enforce Supreme Court decisions as president; a few times now the courts have ruled the income tax to be unconstitutional, yet the enforcing branch of government has ignored this ruling. What is the point of appointing the Constitutional Supreme Court Justices, if the other branches of government can choose to ignore them? Note: McCulloch v. Maryland, U. S. Chief Justice Marshall ruled against Maryland saying: "The power to tax involves the power to destroy."

Concur with Ron Paul. The widespread assumption that the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of every conceivable question pervades analysis in every facet of public policy. Even congressional hearings have taken on the patina of courts of law, with committee counsels managing the floor. This false notion of suffocating legalisms is crystalized in the uncritically accepted expression "No __________ is above the law" (Fill in: Member of Congress, President, Clergy, Taxpayer, Teenager).

My name is Gabriel M. Mueller, and I am first year law student at Creighton University School of Law. I became a Libertarian in undergrad, and I joined the Federalist Society in law school. Now that I have taken Constitutional law, I am convinced that the Supreme Court--that is, the Federal govt--has way too much jurisdiction (read: power) over our personal and economic lives. So many of these issues should be handled by the state government and its people. I believe, as CS Lewis did, that man should be able "to live his life in his own way, to call his castle his home, to enjoy the fruits of his labor, to educate his children as his conscience dictates, to save for his prosperity..." I believe Ron Paul would concur with Lewis and that is why I am supporting Dr. Paul.
