WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision to reject requests from five States to review state laws that prohibit same-sex marriage.

“The Supreme Court’s decision to let rulings by lower court judges stand that redefine marriage is both tragic and indefensible,” said Sen. Cruz. “By refusing to rule if the States can define marriage, the Supreme Court is abdicating its duty to uphold the Constitution. The fact that the Supreme Court Justices, without providing any explanation whatsoever, have permitted lower courts to strike down so many state marriage laws is astonishing.

“This is judicial activism at its worst. The Constitution entrusts state legislatures, elected by the People, to define marriage consistent with the values and mores of their citizens. Unelected judges should not be imposing their policy preferences to subvert the considered judgments of democratically elected legislatures.

“The Supreme Court is, de facto, applying an extremely broad interpretation to the 14th Amendment without saying a word – an action that is likely to have far-reaching consequences. Because of the Court’s decision today, 11 States will likely now be forced to legalize same-sex marriage: Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Utah, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming. And this action paves the way for laws prohibiting same-sex marriage to be overturned in any state.

> “Most Latinos are liberal.”

Your assertion has mo basis in fact or reality.

Latinos are inherently conservative but vote for liberals who they find are pliable to the latino goal which is to promote latino culture. Recent case exanple: Luis Gutierrez:

Latino culture is mostly acceptable to conservative America which is the majority of Americans. Strong work ethic, family loyalty, anti-abortion, Christian values and many more are acceptable to Americans.

But there is one prevalent latino trait that is unacceptable to Americans and is the trait responsible for latinos that fail and this trait is lawlessness.

Latinos who abandon respect for the law will try to find a political leader that will aid them in their lawlessness and propensity to cheat and game the system.

Luis Gutierrez thought he had found a democrat liberal in his quest to normalize lawbreaking for a latino population of lawbreakers. That liberal is Obama.

Shortly after Gutierrez’ disappointment there were cries from his lawbreaking supporters to consider the republican party as the vehicle to further their lawbreaking,

Latino lawbreakers will retreat from defeat. Those left who are legally registered to vote will concede the battle and will settle for a latino president even if it comes from GOP ranks; Rafael Edward ‘Ted’ Cruz. That is the way they think, It is better to have a Latino as President as an object of pride to show their children than to be told by some SEIU union boss to vote for someone named Hillary Clinton who they do not identify with.

In Latino culture, family trumps everything else.

Cruz took more than 40% of the Latino vote in Texas. He will take at least 50% in 2016 when he runs for President.
