"The Bill of Rights protects all citizens from general warrants. I expect this case to go all the way to the Supreme Court and I predict the American people will win," Paul said in a statement.Clearly this has much to do with a future run for the presidency but Paul is about selling his hybrid brand of libertarianism. With his anti drone filibuster and now this suit he is mapping a new course to the White House. He alone took his message to bankrupt Detroit. He has been received cordially by students at Howard University. He is both teacher and politician. His course is a level above that of most candidates. Most sell themselves as the embodiment of an ideal. Paul must first sell the ideal and then himself.
The below video is from Paul's speech at Howard. To see how well he answers tough questions from a skeptical audience fast forward to about the 21:50 mark where he concludes his speech and begins taking questions. Very few politicians can think on their feet this well!

Wow. That was Rand at the top of his game. None of the pat answers his father was famous for. I am impressed.
I see him facing Hillary with a huge generational gulf. Hillary will be portrayed as well beyond her sell by date which she is. He will take the young vote and many of the older voters.
