You haven’t even seen the proposed amendment and you are posting as if you’re reviewed and analyzed it! TROLL!
Ted Cruz has orders of magnitude more knowledge and experience of the US Constitution and its history than nearly anyone alive especially including TROLLS like you! He would never be so ignorant as you deem him based on a proposal you haven’t even seen!
Cruz specifically pointed to the abuse of the 14th amendment that some of the current and former members of the SCOTUS have committed in stretching its history and intent. It is near certain he intends to write a proposed amendment that curtails rulings based on the 14th.
This is the exact same NRCC that withholds funds from candidates if they don't toe the GOP-e line, and support John Boehner. That is who Cruz is raising cash for. I find that insulting.

So you know what you can do with your exclamation points and screaming "TROLL!" like a small child?
I do not support the GOP-e. Not in any way shape or form. My family does not send money to the "insiders" who are working to negotiate away Conservative values.
You can cry "TROLL!" till doomsday, but I guarantee you this: Nothing at all will come of Cruz's weird, convoluted plan to get around a clause that predates the actual Constitution, and which was written by the Founders not once, but at least twice, because it was so critically important. It is there because it is supposed to be there. The way around the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers is not some weirdo amendment.
Here is the body of the email if you'd like to see it: http://www.teapartynation.com/forum/topics/look-the-gop-actually-speaks?commentId=3355873%3AComment%3A2931791
Maybe you think joining the GOP-e in another round of same-old, same-old is a stellar plan. That is your privilege. I won't be doing the same.
Oh, and just so you'll know: the NRCC & Boehner, with help from Ted Cruz are out doing heavy-duty fundraising and spending for openly gay candidates, including candidates who openly support gay marriage.

Conservative groups including the Family Research Council and National Organization for Marriage fired off a letter last week to Boehner, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Greg Walden (Ore.) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) chiding them for backing DeMaio and Tisei, as well as Senate hopeful Monica Wehby (Ore.), who supports gay marriage.
If this is where you feel you need to tell me how we have to compromise our values to get along, don't even bother.
Somebody is trolling, but it ain't me.
