I was asked this question in another thread. It wasn't on topic there, so I'll answer here. The rest of you feel free to join me.
I disagree with him on his view of abortion and his attempts to legislate a "one size fits all" solution through a Constitutional amendment. Yes, his approaches to solving the problem have been Constitutionally sound, but I disagree with the view.
I disagree with his support for civil unions because he hasn't backed civil unions for everybody. I'm a firm believer that the "sanctity" of marriage is a church issue and the state has no business meddling in it.
I disagree with his views regarding separation of church and state. I can read and know for a fact that the Constitution is not "replete with references to God" as he has stated. The founders who wrote the law governing our government were very explicit on the point that the Constitution as amended by the 1st was intended to erect a barrier between church and state.
I believe that energy independence is a national security concern and thus falls within the purview of the Federal government. Likewise maintaining the capacity to manufacture technologies critical to our defense.
I believe that tariffs can be a just recourse for mirroring unfair trade practices of other nations, but that they must only be used to "level the field".
I disagree with his view on capital punishment. Our founding fathers clearly envisioned capital punishment and as no amendment has been passed revoking it, it should remain a state's right.
I'm sure there's more I can't think of right now, but for me the only subject I can fault him on Constitutionally is the church/ state stuff.
Afterthought: He hasn't spelled out to me his thoughts on how the 14th ties into it either, but in all fairness I haven't asked.
