The crazies have come in from the cold….
What next in ‘Rights’?.
Interracial marriages?
Abortion Nationally?
Slavery?
Free Speech?
Cruz, who is a Harvard Law graduate, is that there are no ‘Rights’ that are not in the law per say…..
High Court decisions based on common law need not be followed by states….
Thomas on the court has exposed the same point of view…..
Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, said Saturday that he believes the Supreme Court was “clearly wrong” when it decided in a historic 2015 ruling that same-sex marriage was legal under the Constitution.
Obergefell v. Hodges, a landmark LGBTQ rights case, was decided in a 5 to 4 ruling in June 2015. The Supreme Court decision made it illegal for any state, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to deny a marriage certificate to same-sex couples, citing the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
In a video uploaded to YouTube from his Verdict+ podcast, Cruz discussed what was described as the “vulnerability” of the Obergefell ruling. He argued that the ruling was not correctly decided, making a similar argument to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his concurring opinion when the top judicial body formally overturned Roe v. Wade, which ended a woman’s right to an abortion, in late June….
…
Cruz’s views on Obergefell are not new. He has long criticized the decision and voiced opposition to same-sex marriage. After the decision was handed down in 2015, the Republican lawmaker told NPR in an interview that states not involved in the specific lawsuit should disregard the ruling….
Ted Cruz was the runnerup to Trump n 2916.
He is no “crazy.”
He is though a political who’re who,unlike you, fully understands how far to the Right the Republican Party has gone.
Despite some begrudging rhetoric, Republicans in general have never fully accepted “Gay Rights.” indeed it was not long ago the Republican candidates often raged against the “radical homosexual agenda.”
Cruz, a political animal who will say or do anything to get elected, realizes that saying things like this now appeals to the vast majority of Republicans and is good politics for a Republican presidential candidate.
So if your point is that the Party is “crazy.” I will agree with that.However, you have often intimated that all that has been going on with that party in the Trump era is some kind of aberration and that if Trump would just go away the Republicans would return to something like the Bush- McCain Party of the early 2000s.You are living in a dream world.
What you are hearing from Cruz represents mainstream Republican thinking in 2022
Actually?
I STILL feel he’s Mad Crazy….
I agree he’s just saying crazy stuff….
But shopping this around IS ALSO crazy….
