Dems obstruct in a new way.

I wonder if Congress was adjourned at the time? If not, I believe they were arrested in violation of the Constitution.

Eight Members of Congress Arrested During D.C. Immigration Rally

Eight members of Congress were arrested during a Tuesday immigration rally on Washington, D.C.’s National Mall.

Several House Democrats sat in the middle of Independence Avenue and blocked rush hour traffic, according to the Star Tribune.

The representatives, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Rep. Al Green (D-TX), Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Rep. Jan Schawkowsky (D-IL) and Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), were then arrested by U.S. Capitol Police, spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider confirmed to TheBlaze.

The congressmen were charged with “crowding, obstructing, and incommoding” under D.C. Code 22-1307 and will be processed by the U.S. Capitol Police at 67 K Street, SW.

Tuesday’s rally was organized by a group called Camino Americano and was aimed at urging Congress to pass immigration reform allowing individuals who are illegally in the U.S. to apply for citizenship. The demonstration took place on the “legally closed” National Mall, but was allowed by the National Parks Service because it was considered a rally guarded by the First Amendment.

Here is a video of the arrests, posted to Rangel’s official Twitter account:

Republican seems to be the strongest political vehicle for limited government, so your question is confusing

No, they just want different government. Reagan launched that War on Drugs that still erodes our civil liberties to this day, remember?

Which presidents have sent more US troops out on foreign soil in the past three decades?

Maybe the tea party is, but not the mainland GOP.

From Reagan on, there have been 20 years of Republicans and 12 1/2 years of Democrats, so the comparison is bollocks. Obama has taken military action in Afghanistan (escalating the War monumentally), and also fought bombed and sent troops to Pakistan and Yemen. He sent troops to the Central African Republic/Congo/South Sudan, he bombed and sent troops to Libya (12,000 troops to Libya), troops to Egypt, Uganda, Obama has sent arms to the Syrian rebels. Obama is sending troops to about 30-40 African countries, as a matter of fact (the "Dagger Brigade"). Drone strikes in Somalia. Troops to Jordan to put on Syrian border. Troops to Turkey to put on Syrian border. Troops to Chad. Troops to Mali to help the French in Operation Serval.

And I say President Rand Paul is the answer to small government, ending the war on drugs, and ending military adventurism

I think it might have been black democrats that asked for the war on drugs, I know they were originally behind the minimum sentencing laws for crack.

The drug problem itself is a government conspiracy against the black man.
