In the New American magazine’s latest issue, Ron Paul was the only Congressman to score a perfect 100% score.

Would really like to see the name of this section changed.
There is no such thing as a “Constitutional Right”. The rights we Americans have are “inalienable” and the constitution merely explicitly restricts our servant government from infringing on these God-given rights.
