Libertarians are committed to freedom of association. That entails opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So why is Rand Paul trying to have it both ways? There are three possibilities. First, he's not really a libertarian. Second, he opposes the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (and is being disingenuous when he says that he opposes its repeal). Third, he's confused.
