The Senate can propose amendments to the Constitution and that is what they are planning to do.
Ted Cruz is spot on in calling this out because the democrats and their republican establishment surrogates will make this amendment look like it’s focused only on campaign financing. Senator Cruz is educating people that it goes far beyond campaign financing to the suppression of free speech in effect neutering the First Amendment.
Ted Cruz is fine.
It takes 2/3 support of both Houses of Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states. And I don't hear the RINO-controlled House making the same noise. So Senate Democrats along with Cruz are blowing scorching hot air, the Democrats likely politicking for 2014, Cruz probably trying to position himself for 2016.
