From the article, some more entertainment...

The appeals court disagreed in a 2–1 decision, which held that the government has no business encroaching on Americans' most private of affairs. But Cruz and Texas attorney general Greg Abbott....battled on, filing a brief requesting a hearing before the full court of appeals, claiming the three-judge panel had overstepped the precedent set by Lawrence. Cruz's office argued that the prior ruling would give all manner of deviants grounds to claim that "engaging in consensual adult incest or bigamy" must be legal as they have a right to "enhance their sexual experiences." They lost the motion and ultimately chose not to bring the matter to the Supreme Court.

He’s not wrong. If you disagree, show me where in the Constitution it says you have a right to masturbate. Oh, you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but you do not, strictly speaking, have a constitutional right to beat off.

Texas has had some interesting laws on the books.

Thanks for bringing attention to the fact that Cruz has fought for Texas laws (even goofy ones) compared to the law breaking Socialist living in the White House now.

Yep, I'm still okay with voting, in our primary, for a "dildo" lawyer VS another rich elitist who thinks rules don't apply to him.

” Texas solicitor general. Back in 2004, several adult-plaything providers challenged a Texas law “

So a Texas Solicitor General performed his duties by defended a state law.

Shocking...
