	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "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." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

God Bless Ted Cruz.

While he’s at it, he should introduce an Amendment stating that life begins at conception.

[demshateGod]

We should call it the 10th amendment.

[ScottinVA]

I like his stance on the matter, but that ship has sailed, unfortunately.

The US Supreme Court is Shameful! Overturning state constitutions especially on Marriage by the Federal Appeals court is no way to make law.

Glad this is right before an Election so we can voice our Displeasure to corrupting administration.

[Bettyprob]

I’m sure the Democrats in the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and in various state legislatures will get right on this.

[Paine in the Neck]

The Constitution doesn’t need amending to preserve traditional marriage. The 10th Amendment handles it. What we need is a Supreme Court that recognizes that the federal government has over-reached or, failing that, a Congress that is willing to use its impeachment and removal powers on judges who fail in their Constitutional duties.

[I know. We’re screwed.]

[GSWarrior]

I assume that Cruz saying that the SC should not overturn a state's decision on this subject.

In other words, let states decide. I am okay with that.

[Author Mike Carnegie]

If such an amendment were ever to be passed and ratified, the U.S. Supreme Court would rely upon “international human rights law” to trump the Constitution and invalidate the amendment. The rule of law is broken.

Rand Paul supports gay marriage and opposes preventing it, including an amendment.

Question-But it seems what they’re saying is that the Republican Party should stay out of issues like gay marriage.

Paul-I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues. The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Amending it won't matter. The courts have decided that they alone will determine the meaning of everything relating to the Constitution. The courts will decide for themselves how such an amendment will apply, and then they will decide on how they will maneuver around it.

Until Congress begins reasserting its dominion over the courts, nothing will change. Every law needs to be reviewed regarding the role of the judiciary regarding enforcement and application. Several, high level impeachments need to happen to send the judiciary the message that they are operating in a manner that Congress disapproves of, and that they need to stop being aggressive activists.
