Well, okay.

Cruz is, by training and choice, a judicial supremacist.

He supports legislation such as the “fetal pain” bills that encode permission to kill babies, all of them, as long as they are killed on schedule and by an arbitrary set of man-made rules. This is immoral and unconstitutional. God and the Constitution absolutely require equal protection under the law. It’s not optional.

His proposed constitutional amendment on marriage is pro-choice for states. In other words, it allows states to have “gay marriage” if they want to. That’s ridiculous. If you’re going to go to the trouble of a constitutional amendment, protect marriage. Don’t beat around the bush.

No amendment is required to protect marriage. All that is required are representatives in the legislative and executive offices who will keep their oaths and rein in the judicial oligarchs.

The problem we have with judicial supremacy was baked into the Constitution. Someone had to answer the question of what comported with the Constitution and the Court did serve decently many times for that purpose. More evil things like chattel slavery were baked into it too. It wasn’t a consciousness raising by itself that dealt with that problem; it was a lot of civil disobedience culminating in civil war and amendments.

Something like a Bork Amendment or the ability to retention-vote the USSC members might help there. But I have to ask those who just want to flip the USSC the bird, you and what ruling army? If the USSC cannot just wish a different Constitution into being, can you either? The problem needs to be dug out from under, the hard way.
