Republican Texas Senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz spoke to TODAY's Savannah Guthrie on Monday about the latest Supreme Court rulings in an appearance Monday to discuss his new book, "A Time For Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America."
When asked by Guthrie about his comments that the court rulings upholding the health care law and making same-sex marriage legal was "a dark day for America," Cruz said that a majority of the Supreme Court justices, whom he called "5 unelected lawyers...violated their judicial oaths." Cruz thinks it should be up to the states to vote for gay marriage laws.
Cruz said he would support a Texas state clerk that refused to marry a gay couple on religious grounds, even though gay marriage was just ruled legal nationwide by the Supreme Court. "Religious liberty is right at the foundation of our country," said Cruz.
Cruz also defended his views to support a constitutional amendment that would subject Supreme Court justices to "retention elections." When Guthrie asked him why he would support changing something the nation's founders did not intend, Cruz said the Supreme Court had become politicized. "The elites on the court look at most of the country as flyover country," he said.
[[We are not a moral and religious people,]]
We could be again IF we had a moral and religious leadership and law defenders
I shall not leave, nor shall I allow your immaturity and vitriolic passion to censer truth and analysis that you find difficult. Free Republic will remain free, even if your feelings are offended. America, is in deep trouble, yet, in spite of her woes, there remains many reasons to fight and not retreat; posting on free republic is but one of those fights. Many may have their eyes opened to the truth and cry out more desperately for repentance that begins with themselves and proceeds to the clergy and government. Repentance is the only path to restoration of liberty.
Often the first step to recovery is an honest assessment of the problem. It is time to sober up and face the problem for what it is, denial will only make the reckoning worse. If taking the red pill is too difficult for you than enjoy your slavery to an illusion.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Sam Adams
Says the person who wrote: "America is utterly corrupt. This is a doomed ship."
No, you piss off. You don't have one-hundredth of the contempt for me that I have for you. You come here to damn the country and claim some moral high ground?
:spit:
Lower than garbage.
DaveyB: We are not a moral and religious people, we have squandered our blessings of liberty and despised providence. Baring repentance, America is over and done. I weep not for the america but for last best hope of liberty on Earth. May a new hope rise from her ashes to light the way for humanity once again.

Your hypocrisy is legion. You're nothing more than a Leftist punk pretending to be a Christian in order to damn America and all Americans in vicious generalisations. You are crude and transparent, and wrapping yourself in the flag while you do it.
You fight against America by literally declaring her dead, by literally abandoning the Constitution in her hour of need. Therefore you are a traitor to everything she stands for, and all the blood spilled to protect that Constitution you neither study or understand, but contemptuously throw away.
Therefore I fight against your poison by calling you on your lies. Lies that compare adherence to the Constitution to a drunk denying their alcoholism! You utter, stinking, piece of garbage Leftist scumbag! Generations of Americans fought and died to protect what you refer to as an illness, you worm.
America will be strong again when it runs death-whisperers like you out on a rail.
By the way, we don't say "Piss off" here, Brit.
But we do say "incompetent."
Shalom - enjoy your delusions.
Perfect - your cry of "peace" is literally used to express hate, just as I said about you.
Certainly I'm not declaring "peace peace when there is no peace" (Jer. 6:14). My original post is that there can be no easy fix because the people are at enmity with God. You seem tormented and dead set on your delirium. I wish you no ill will; may your chains rest lightly upon you... I only offer the red pill, I do not compel you to take it. Reality is not for the faint of heart.
Yep, you’re just a master of logical argument.
Your “original post” declared America dead, and now you’re calling me insane and denying my relationship with God for pointing it out, while simultaneously claiming no hate for me and assuming religious moral authority.
LOL, you’re the end of civilization all in one person!
Shoofly.
