- On the heels of Rand Paul's appearance on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow show in which the New York Times said he "appeared uncertain about whether he would have supported forcing private businesses to desegregate in the 1960s, suggesting that might run afoul of his libertarian philosophy," yesterday the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate said, "I unequivocally state that I will not support any efforts to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964." Awesome--me too! I'm glad that's settled. [New York Times]
