Ted Cruz

...But Cruz was skeptical that his opponents were committed to stopping same-sex nuptials.
"As much as there were crocodile tears shed in Washington yesterday on Obamacare, there were even bigger crocodile tears shed in Washington today on marriage," Cruz said.
That is a contrast Cruz made sure to highlight to nearly every voter he met in the Hawkeye State. The script at Dutch Bakery here was workmanlike: Shake the hand. Share outrage at the decision. Ridicule Republicans' public statements. Blast them for "popping champagne." Shake a new hand. (edit)
"I fully expect the drive for an Article V convention to get new energy and new steam," Cruz said in Sheldon when a voter asked whether he would back it.
By the end of the day, Cruz was bringing it up himself -- though always stopping just short of saying he would support the call for a convention. In a column posted on the National Review's website late Friday, Cruz was not only floating the convention idea but proposing his own amendment: judicial retention elections every eight years for Supreme Court justices.
"When they violate the constitutional amendment and the law, the American people can remove them," Cruz said to his loudest applause of the evening in Pierson. "We are not governed by a judicial priesthood. We are not governed by judicial tyranny."
But Cruz reserved his toughest talk for the head of that tyranny: Roberts, a justice who dissented with the Court's decision on Friday but who the day before voted with the Court's liberal wing to uphold Obamacare subsidies.
"His decision yesterday and his decision a couple of years ago violated his oath of office," Cruz said. "He knows full well that he's changing the law and not following it."

Go Ted Go
Ted Cruz is how we can make liberals regret their stupidity.
Any candidate who does NOT seek to harness the outrage after these 3 SCOTUS decisions is not fit for the nomination.

I’m sorry, but after the game he played on the trade bill, I put this guy down as an opportunistic phony
What game was that?
Cruz or lose. Seriously.
I sent more money last night.
I will enjoy seeing him win.
Thank you.
I notified the moderator about your profanity. I don’t like asking for a post to be taken down - I don’t think I’ve ever done so — but gutter profanity is a special case.
Ted Cruz
BUMP
“what game was that?”
He voted for it, to help it get through the Senate on the first vote. Then, when the House passed it and it was sent back to the Senate, he voted against it - when it was clear it would pass without his help.
I did, too. Will send more after payday. He is the only one to lead us out of the wilderness.
Especially since the other candidates have gone all wishy-washy over it.
Just made another donation to Cruz.
