He’s taking the government back

Looks like it’s Rand week in the US Senate. From HuffPostHill:
Running in tomorrow’s Roll Call from Emma Dumain: “Sen. Rand Paul may upset a bill to give Washington, D.C., autonomy over its budget. The Kentucky Republican plans to offer amendments during tomorrow’s markup that would loosen the city’s gun restrictions. If they are adopted by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs committee’s conservative-leaning membership, that would threaten floor consideration of the bill, which Sen. Joe Lieberman wants to keep “clean.” “We are deeply offended by Sen. Paul’s stunning hypocrisy,” Ilir Zherka, executive director of DC Vote, said. “Congress has the power to do things around the country and Paul has repeatedly stated he’s against government taking those steps except clearly now in the District of Columbia.”
Oh my goodness. Rand is such a busy boy these days. Inserting fetal personhood into flood bills and gun bills into local budgets. Why you’d almost begin to believe that he has a “message from the Tea Party” that he’s “come to take the government back.” He’s just doing what he promised.
