MORERand Paul To Attack Trump Over Eminent Domain Abuse
by Robby Soave. Donald Trump is no friend to private property owners. Vowing to recapture some of the enthusiasm his campaign has lost over the past few weeks, Sen. Rand Paul said he will focus on property issues and eminent domain abuse in order to make the case that Donald Trump is out of step with conservative Republican primary voters. ... MOREKatie Kieffer: 17 Grades for 17 Candidates: Anchor Babies
The immigration report card.

MOREWash Post: "The Libertarian Moment Is Over, Or Is It?"
by Nick Gillespie. Former Reason staffer David Weigel, now at the Washington Post, looks at Rand Paul's sagging fortunes in the run for the Republican presidential nomination and writes: One year ago, in a flag-planting cover story for the New York Times
magazine, Robert Draper asked whether a “libertarian moment” had come at
last. ... MOREStephanie Slade: Why I Am A Pro-Life Libertarian
LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There's a belief on the American left that says it's impossible to be
both a principled libertarian and a principled pro-lifer—that the two
positions are somehow intellectually incompatible. It's been popping up
more often lately as liberal writers look for ways to criticize Sen.
Rand Paul, as in ... MORENick Gillespie: Ron Paul Endorses Rand
The "only one who is standing up for your liberty." Should the son inherit the votes of the father?

In a letter that Paul campaign insiders say is "going out ... MORE
Andrew Napolitano: Chris Christie vs. Rand Paul
Or, King George vs. Thomas Jefferson. The dust-up between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over presidential fidelity to the Constitution – particularly the Fourth Amendment – was the most illuminating two minutes of the Republican debate last week. It is a well-regarded historical truism that the Fourth Amendment was ... MOREChris Christie And Rand Paul Reflect The Clash Between The GOP's Authoritarian And Libertarian Tendencies

MOREJacob Sullum: Christie Vs. Paul On Surveillance & Security
NJ governor unconcerned about warrantless snooping.

The New Jersey governor's puzzling charge against the Kentucky senator ... MOREJacob Sullum: How Libertarian Is Rand Paul On Drug Policy?
More than the others, but there is room for improvement. Last week about 40 people paid at
least $2,700 each to hear Rand Paul talk about drug policy during the
National Cannabis Industry Association's conference at the Denver
Convention Center. That "private briefing" made the Kentucky senator the
first major-party presidential candidate ... MORERand Paul Wants To "Blow Up the Tax Code and Start Over"
by Nick Gillespie. Stop providing the details of your life to IRS. Libertarianish Republican Sen.

In the Wall Street Journal, Paul writes:I am announcing an over $2 trillion tax cut that would repeal the ... MOREConnie Mack IV: A Spirited Defense Of Liberty
Liberty has a champion. Whether you like his brand of conservatism or not — and there’s
plenty about his approach to national security and foreign policy that I
don’t like — you have to admire the principled stand that Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky took on the reauthorization of the Patriot Act. Mr. Paul
made Americans step back and take a ... MOREDreadful Criminal Justice System Destroyed Kalief Browder
