Finally, Action! Ron Paul Introduces Bill to Defend Constitution!

On Monday, Rep. Ron Paul, the outsider Republican presidential candidate who has long upheld these values and who was an early voice warning of the grave danger to all of us of these abuses, introduced the AFA's legislative package into Congress. (The mainstream press has an irrational habit of disparaging outsider candidates -- as if corrupt money and machine endorsements equal seriousness of purpose -- even though the Founders hoped that the system they established would lead citizens, ideally those unembedded in the establishment, to offer their service to the nation.) It is the American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007 [PDF], and you should read it in its entirety: just as accounts of the recent abuses send chills down your spine, this beautifully argued document feels historic and has the ring of great power to correct great injustice.

The problem is that we already HAD laws that made the actions of the current administration illegal. Congress and the Judiciary simply ignored that inconvenient fact.

I'm understand why Ron Paul is introducing this legislation; he is committed to working within the system. And while Congress may well pass this bill in order to make themselves look good for the 2008 elections, common sense will tell you that they have no more intention of enforcing the new law than they have the old until We The People force the Congress to do their job.
