ALERT: Rand Paul is being DETAINED at the Nashville Airport by the TSA

[Cinderella]

Watch for the msm to spin this into: He was NOT detained but instead refused to be patted down therefore they refused to let him on the flight (for safety reasons of course)

 

[Cowlesy]

Is the militia en route yet?

If he "disappears" we lose a senator on our side.

Rand Paul knows very well what he's doing. He wants to expose the NDAA and other security extremism.

Those who have been saying that Rand is a spineless politician, nothing like his dad, etc. owe him an apology. The guy has balls, as I'm sure the TSA agent behind the scanner can confirm. Ron Paul did not raise a phony.

His detainment/arrest had nothing to do with legislative business. The clause has been determined by the courts to apply in only very specific circumstances and it does not apply here, you'd have to stretch it as far as the federal government stretches the interstate commerce clause for it to apply to this.

So, you are telling me that if a Senator is heading back to D.C. to vote on a bill and another part of the government keeps him from attending and VOTING, it is okey dokey?

WTF is Rand consenting to the porno scanners?

maybe that airport doesn't have porno scanners, only the metal detectors.

Years ago when Al Gore ran for prez the first time (88, iirc), I read an article about him - maybe rolling stone? anyways....the interviewer was riding with him in an SUV in DC...the driver was allowed to go through a specific traffic stop and the story pointed out how because Al was on route to do business in the Senate, he couldn't be stopped.

So where is this court determination? Has to have been since 88.

Unless you can show us that, I think your schtick of "only applies to in very specific circumstances" is wrong.

I'm new to the forums and I've googled and googled and been unable to figure out how to "drudge" a story. I see http://drudgereport.com/ has a box called "SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE". Is that what you guys mean?

Scroll down the page on Drudge until you see a blank white box on the right hand side that has "SEND NEWS TIPS TO DRUDGE" typed above it. Put your message/link/etc. in the box and hit "Submit". Rejoice for you have "drudged". And welcome aboard!

nothing says that it was the nude o scope. It may have been the simple walk through metal detector (WTMD)

I go through the WTMD and not the NoS or patdown.

Second post in the thread, Ron says his son was detained after refusing the full body scan.

So maybe it was a MD and then a full body scan afterwards.

Don't know

OPT OUT

this is exactly what msnbc just said on tv

 

[Diurdi]

The left is going to try and spin this into "Paul thinks he's above the law" or "Paul is elitist Politician who do not think the same rules apply to him"-story

Jesus christ.

We aren't at that level, YET. Given what's been happening in this country, things could surely rise to that level within the not so distant future

 

[MsDoodahs]

The courts have been very specific about what the clause actually means and it would not apply here. It's like saying he couldn't be pulled over by the cops even if he was driving with a bottle of vodka in one hand and joint in the other if he was on his way to Capitol Hill.

WHERE? Because that is EXACTLY what it meant back in 1988. I was young and impressionable and that was the VERY THING that caught my attention from that article about AlGore - as a sitting US Senator, if on route to the Senate to do business, NO cops could detain him. PERIOD.

Yeah, that's exactly how it is being spun.

They are so disgustingly predictable

Free Rand Paul!

I took it to mean the full metal detector, not the porno scanners. If your version is the case I guess the physical hands on is his limit...

 

[Constitutional Paulicy]

Here is the first video released on the topic....

 

[MsDoodahs]

Maybe he's proud...

okay DAMN YOU SAILING for making me get strangled on my morning coffee! lol!

 

[J-Reg]

How about a spontaneous "Free Rand Paul" Moneybomb?

I would think that most Americans hate the TSA and what they have to go through just to get on a plane. Even Limbaugh was against the porno scanners when they came out.
