rand paul is corruptable he proved that by supporting mitt romney, he just isn't solid enough to follow in his pappys footsteps i fear the only way rand will stay straight is if his dad dies then comes back and haunts him.

We'll see if he stands alone. My guess is that Rand will have little or no impact. Most of the Republican senators are spineless, their failure to stop Obama before proves that.

Rand Paul pledges to 'nullify' President Obama's executive orders

Sen. Rand Paul is pledging to undo some of President Barack Obama’s executive orders on guns that the Kentucky Republican believes overreach.

“In this bill we will nullify anything the president does that smacks of legislation,” Rand said Wednesday on Fox’s “Hannity,” referencing his legislation that is slated to be introduced in Congress next week. “And there are several of the executive orders that appear as if he’s writing new law. That cannot happen.”

Rand’s comments came several hours after Obama unveiled his plan to curb gun violence, an initiative that included 23 executive actions he promised to take to address the matter. Unilateral actions from the president include pushing for research into the causes of gun violence, improving the federal background check system and calling on federal law enforcement to trace guns that are collected during criminal investigations.

“I’m afraid that President Obama may have this ‘king complex’ sort of developing, and we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen,” Paul said, adding that the Founding Fathers specified that Congress should make laws.

Obama also laid out several policies for Congress to take up, calling on the body to pursue a ban on military-style assault weapons and asking for universal background checks. Paul said he believed that Obama’s proposals for Congress would falter.

“I think there are a few Democrats that will worry about going home to West Virginia or other states like that and voting for a ban on guns,” Paul said. “So, I think there is a good chance we can stop his legislative action. I’m concerned he will try to do the regulatory fiat, what he can’t pass through legislation.”

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) hit back at Paul Thursday morning.

“But the notion that we’re going to nullify presidential action when the president is acting pursuant to law, that’s just kind of this anti-government rhetoric that I’m surprised to hear somebody in government use it,” he said on CNN’s “Starting Point.”
