Paul inconsistent on Constitution

Today's Herald-Leader makes some great points about Rand Paul:

For Paul and the Tea Party movement that has made him its darling, the Constitution represents something of a political/governmental Bible and should be adhered to strictly when they're talking about shrinking the size and power of the federal government — but not so strictly when they don't like what it says.

And Paul really doesn't like what the 14th Amendment says about "persons born ... in the United States" become citizens of this great American melting pot.

...We'll just note that this candidate who proudly bears the "constitutionalist" banner seems to practice that particular religion only when it's politically convenient for him.
