Cruz/Lee and all the other leaders that believe in the CORRECT way of marriage need to seriously start thinking of using something other than these idiotic laws to get stuff done...when you have tyrants in robes who care nothing for the constitution or the right of the people to run their own state the dye has been cast.Its time to wake up smell the coffee and get on with it.
If Senator Cruz were honest with you...he would tell you that writing a bill that would not pass Constitutional scrutiny is a mistake. It is not the fault of those "tyrants in robes" that they have to rule on laws that have no constitutional authority.
Please refer me to a document that says marriage is a fundamental right. It's not in the Constitution.
Because it has been established as a right with over 250 years of American Jurisprudence as such. Legal percedent has established marriage as a right...
Loving v Virgina
Quote:
Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law. The Fourteenth Amendment requires that the freedom of choice to marry not be restricted by invidious racial discrimination. Under our Constitution, the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State.
So says the United States Supreme Court...so say we all.
Texas will comply with the supreme court's decision. The TX Confederate Militia can let off some steam like they always do..by shooting empty cans of Old Milwaukee.

Unfortunately for you, you're ignoring that there is also a 14th Amendment, which says that "no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws". If it were cut and dry as you make it, there would not be a debate now would there?
Finally something I can approve of from Cruz.He sees the destruction going on...
I will stand with Ted Cruz on almost any issue, but especially this one. He is a statesman. There aren't many of them left, but they are what is missing. Somebody must stand and shine the light of truth on the path we have been on in this country.

Bravo, Ted Cruz!!!
Ted Cruz can be the Prince of Politics or the King of Statesmen..and shine a 1000 lights of truth on everything he wishes...
But the fact remains any law he writes that is deeded unsconstituion is not worth the light pen it was written with.
