He does not mean it is not his top priority in the way people are taking it. He means the Constitution comes first on every single issue. By his definition, that means states decide. By historical definition, the fundamentals can be federal, as with polygamy. States cannot choose to overturn long held social order, or so it is suppose to go. In that sense even Cruz is not an originalist. I’ll take it as a states rights issue, even though that leaves it ultimately federal because of the full faith and credit clause. At least it would take a lot longer.

Sadly we are no longer just slouching toward Gomorrah, we ARE Gomorrah. That will take another revolution to change, I’m afraid. The liberals get their wins and then five minutes later they ban or at least severely punish all dissension. Never mind that the dissent was the standard ever since the beginning of time. Regardless of where we are, I will not support someone who is not at least appalled by it as well as attempting to turn it around.
