Rand Paul 2016! No, really

Rand Paul 2016! No, really

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul made a stop at the GOP’s fourth branch of government, Fox News, to unveil his plans to “nullify” President Obama’s 23 executive orders on guns. Having declared “I’m against having a king” on Monday, Paul made his first move to be the Tea Party favorite for president in 2016 with his assault on Obama’s guns agenda.

In a “Hannity exclusive” breathlessly titled “Standing Up to the King,” Paul declared his intention to stand up to our newly re-elected president. “I’m afraid that President Obama may have this king complex sort of developing, “ he told a worshipful Sean Hannity. And we all remember what Americans do to kings…

Like all Tea Partiers, Paul swaddled himself in his juvenile notion of what the “founders” wanted. “Our founding fathers were very concerned about having a separation of powers, they didn’t want to let the president to become a king,” he told Hannity. “They wanted to say that Congress was the one to legislate, not the president…We will nullify anything the president does that smacks of legislation.”
Hannity repeatedly gave Paul the opportunity to explain the legislation he was supposedly “unveiling” Wednesday night. But Paul didn’t have any details about what he’d do, except to say that “several” of the president’s executive orders “appear as if he’s writing new law.” It seemed the appearance was booked exclusively so the Kentucky senator could say the words “nullify” and “king.”
