Ted Cruz Introduces Bills to Stop Gay Marriage

[PratchettFan]

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.

It is about states denying choice

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


.

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.

What is reserved to the federal government is the authority to resolve disputes under the Constitution. And while there is nothing in the Constitution which tells a state what laws to have in terms of marriage, it does require the states to apply those laws equally to all its citizens. Thus the 14th amendment is the argument used against not allowing same sex couples the same benefits allotted to different sex couples. The authority to determine if that argument is valid rests with the SCOTUS, as specifically outlined in the Constitution. Any law which removes that from SCOTUS, short of an amendment, would be unconstitutional. And Cruz is well aware of that. It's a publicity stunt for his own political benefit, and on your dime.

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

[emoji24][emoji24] boo hoo...the bigots keep getting called bigots when they do and say bigoted things...

Boo hoo

 

[danielpalos]

just sounds like more "Canadian" chicanery in favor of infidel-ism, protestant-ism, and renegade-ism; to some on the left who enjoy "harassing the Right" for political fun and political practice, but no form of Alta California chicanery.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Cruz wants to amend the Constitution thus codifying his unwarranted fear and hate of gay Americans.

 

[Seawytch]

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?

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

Nope...just comparing the bigots...same/same

 

[Marxist]

YEAH, LET'S SUPPORT BIGOTRY.

 

[BULLDOG]

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.

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.

Remember when the teabaggers pretended they weren't bigots?

I remember when they claimed they were not bigots. It never went any further than that claim, and nothing they did could differentiate them from bigots, but they did make that claim.

Ted knows those bills will never be passed. He is just doing it to keep his crazy supporters riled up.

One would think with a GOP Congress, he could get it passed, but considering those assholes just confirmed Obama's lunatic AG appointee, there's just no telling. What did that asshole Lindsey Graham say? "A president should have his cabinet picks confirmed". Fuck these Democrat assholes calling themselves Republicans. May they burn in hell forever.

'lunatic AG appointee'?

According to what Right Wing idiot- oh wait....

Harvard
Harvard Law
Worked in a law firm
Prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney's office.
Partner in Law firm
United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York

Which part made her a 'lunatic'?

Being a partner in a law firm or being U.S. Attorney and prosecuting criminals?

Or just the crime of being a Democrat nominee?

How is treating my civil marriage equally under the law "forcing" you to change your beliefs or views?

 

[Seawytch]

I don't know if I can dumb this down enough but I'll try...

Alabama allows Bobby Joe to marry his 15 year old 1st Cousin Bobbi Jo. California does not.

California allows consenting adult Steve to marry non familial consenting adult Adam. Alabama does not.

Which marriage is valid in all 50 states despite both being issued by a state authority?

Her opinion that a Democrat president can issue any executive order he wants, bypassing Congress. No doubt if it were a Republican president, she would think differently. So yes, I have a problem with her being a Democrat because all of you are hypocrites.
