True, but not a particularly good argument, either. If you really believe in unalienable rights.
The first stated purpose of the United States Constitution is "to form a more perfect Union." The trendy "leave it up to the states" position on marriage, which is what the Cruz Amendment represents, makes the fulfillment of that purpose, and all of the other stated purposes of the Constitution, quite simply, impossible.
Moral civilization that recognizes and conforms itself to God's will and nature, and deeply immoral barbarism, which is in rebellion against God and nature, cannot co-exist peacefully over the long haul, or aspire to, and work towards, perfect unity. That's simply not reality.
This proposed amendment is fundamentally flawed.
If you're going to go to all the trouble of amending the Constitution, at least protect marriage, and the natural law, everywhere in America.
I do believe in unalienable rights but nothing’s perfect and it is the pursuit of perfection the misguides so many and leads to unintended federal abuse, socialism, and tyranny.
Freedom means everyone doesn’t have to abide by my moral code or your moral code. People can do what they want as long as they don’t interfere with another’s freedom. A happy, peaceful, and free society is never brought about by more federal power or even more state power - that is the direct opposite of freedom. But as the Founders wrote, sustained freedom is VERY dependent on the religion and “good manners” of the people.
Thus the banning of prayer and the Bible in public schools while seemingly harmless at the time, has reaped disastrous effects and harm to our free way of life.
