christ. the man is an imbecile.
i'd like to know how he (or jindal or huckster) could possibly ever take an oath to defend the constitution?! just because you don't like the ruling, doesn't mean the system is broken.
what part of equal don't they get? what part of 'this is a secular country' do they not understand?? what about separation of church and state, ted? you know, you rail about the dangers of sharia law, yet here we are.

Cruz has also proposed a constitutional amendment to restore authority over marriage laws to the states, and voiced his support for allowing Texas state clerks to refuse marriage licenses to gay couples, if they have a religious reason for doing so.

Guthrie asked Cruz whether that same logic should have been applied in the wake of Loving v. Virginia, a case that forced the states to recognize the validity of interracial marriages. Cruz said that he would not support clerks denying marriage licenses to interracial couples on religious grounds because, “There’s no religious backing for that.”

that's not what they said at the time, ted. matter of fact, if one goes back and looks at integration, you'll see lots of protesters holding signs saying the bible was against integration.


and then there's this from cruz:

"And marriage and religious liberty are going to be integral, I believe, to motivating the American people to come out and vote for what's, ultimately, restoring our constitutional system."

he's confused.
