Ted Cruz Introduces Bills to Stop Gay Marriage

[Nosmo King]

This is nothing more than a meaningless gesture considering it has almost zero chance of passing Congress.

And that is exactly what Ted Cruz was elected to do. Make meaningless legislation. His supports must be enthralled.

Seriously though...Cruz already has the coo coo banana bird vote locked up...this is beyond meaningless.

You liberals are such snobs and children all wrapped up in one. someone doesn't agree to your agendas and look out

When the agenda is equality, it boggles the mind that political figures and their acolytes like you don't agree.

What's so harmful about equal access to jurisprudence? Do you think that by extending equality to all citizens, some of your rights will erode?

Making everyone free makes EVERYONE free.

everyone in the USA is free. There are no constitutional rights that do not apply to gays.

Until everyone is free to access jurisprudence, no one is free.

All homosexuals ask is access to contract law and the protections found therein.

How about them headlines from the Bloomingidiot rag?

from what I've seen it's a bill that would leave it up to the states

but why bother informing the people of all of it..

Of course it would leave it up to the states. He realizes he already lost on the federal level, so he is hoping for one last chance to refight the battle. The right wing lost this one. Admit it and move on.

There is no comparison to slavery. Slaves didn't choose to be slaves. Peter puffers choose to puff Peter

This is true.

Tell us about the day you decided not to be gay.

the state can't undermine federal law. states can give more rights than the feds. not fewer.

You're right, and Cruz is smart enough to know that. This is not about any possibility of Cruz winning, or changing anything. This is strictly a performance for his followers. His way of showing them that he will support their bigoted ideas, and keeping them engaged. His followers might be crazy and mean, but they still vote, and he will do what ever it takes to make sure they vote for him.

It would not surprise me to find out that Ted Cruz is a closet gay.

Some Leftwats haven't gotten the memo that "opposing homosexuality means you're secretly gay" doesn't actually work.

A typical GOP moron. As usual you don't get it. Whether Ted is gay or not is irrelevant. Spearheading legislation that is obviously born from bigotry makes him totally unelectable to national office. His views and actions based on those views will just be an embarrassment for Texas citizens. Texas already has PR problems. Ted is just adding to them.

Bigotry? His legislation wouldn't end gay marriage, just allow states to form their own marriage laws. That's not bigotry, that's choice, something you people claim to believe in, and that's freedom.

that's the BULLIES on the left/liberals. If everyone doesn't bow to them. they just call you a bunch of names. It's a nasty trait in them but they don't care. they'll beat people down anyway they can

 

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

It wouldn't end gay marriage in America like the loony Left will bleat about, it would simply allow states to decide the issue for themselves. Not all would ban gay marriage and the butt pirates can all move to the states that allow it.

Then the Feds were wrong when they outlawed slavery. They should have left it up to the states, right?

Slavery violated the Constitution, defining marriage does not. Try to pay attention.

All MEN are created equal. From many different sources that the country was founded. At the time it was adopted, it meant Free White Landowner Men. All others had no rights. This was pseudo taken care of but I equate Gay rights with Race Rights. We have a tendency to ignore both. If one is left up to the states, the other must also be left up to the states. Or neither shall be left up to the states. You can't have it both ways.

Being an illiterate Leftist, you wouldn't understand that in Latin and Greek and the Western languages that sprang from them, both the male and the female are engendered in "man", which is why "mankind" does not just refer to males.

It is about states denying choice

It is endorsing restrictions on freedom because they are done at the state level

There you go again, trying to compare homosexuality with slavery. Apples and oranges

States deny choices all the time. You can ride a motorcycle sans helmet here in Idaho, but if you drive into Oregon, you better put one on. Every power not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution is reserved to the states. That would include marriage. Cruz is doing nothing more than submitting legislation that would reinforce the natural limitations of federal power.

that this even needs to be Explained to people, that they don't already know this

should the scare the hell out of all us

they seem to think it's FEDERAL government or NOTHING

You do not have to get a new motorcycle license when you cross state lines, but your marriage license is not recognized

States are not delegated the power to deny human rights just because they are states. They keep trying but they keep getting "corrected" by the federal government

the big hang-up is this pesky thing called the 14th amendment...

each state that attempts to exclude gays from the privileges of marital status conveyed by state laws, is actually violating the equal protection clause and stands to be challenged on the federal level...

because marriage laws are state laws, that process begins with "leaving it up to the states" and ends with such inequality being constitutionally challenged state by state. ted cruz understands this, but it's pandering season and he needs to solidify the ignorant emotional base.



All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
