Folks like "I'm agreeing with Rand Paul" and feeling weird about it should reframe.
Rand Paul is agreeing with you. About one, maybe two, possibly a handful of things.

AG Weiser says President Trump's attempt to expand presidential pardon power to state charges is "an off the wall legal theory."
"It's total garbage," Weiser said. "Any lawyer who argues in favor of this should be embarrassed and ashamed."
