All those who first applauded Colbert's comment about marriage not being in the Constitution should feel like jackasses when Cruz correctly pointed out that ,in such cases, the STATES should decide. Nice fade out of the applause Cruz received, at the end of his remarks. Can't have too many folks think he won that point, now can we ?

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Cruz knows more about the US Constitution than the rest of this board combined, Colbert, and every audience Colbert has ever had in his studio. Or ever will have. Cruz knows, but did not mention, that the Fourteenth Amendment requires States to recognize opposite-sex marriages validly performed out of State. Since opposite-sex couples may now exercise the fundamental right to marry in all States, there is no lawful basis for a State to refuse to recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another State on the ground of its same-sex character. What does that mean, exactly? Well, it just so happens that the Supreme Court has invalidated state marriage laws before now. For example: Loving v. Virginia, 388 U. S. 1, 12, invalidated bans on interracial unions, and Turner v. Safley, 482 U. S. 78, 95, held that prisoners could not be denied the right to marry. In Loving v. Virginia (such a cool name!) the Court invoked both the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause and in Zablocki v. Redhail, 434 U. S. 374, where the Court invalidated a law barring fathers delinquent on child-support payments from marrying. This Court has invoked equal protection principles to invalidate laws imposing sex-based inequality on marriage, see, e.g., Kirchberg v. Feenstra, 450 U.S. 455, 460–461. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf 37 states or 74% of states had Legal Same-Sex Marriage prior to the June 26, 2015 Supreme Court Ruling. That was enough consensus for the Supreme Court despite the fact that a Constitutional amendment needs 75% of the States (38 of 50 States). The Supreme Court has made many, many, many decisions in the last 216 years without an amendment even though that kind of legal activism makes Ted Cruz angry, but Ted is always angry about something. http://gaymarriage.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004857 Ted Cruz has never answered truthfully, always dodging the question, about how many state legislatures must approve before the Supreme Court can decide a controversial case. I'm guessing his true answer is not 50%, 75% or even 100% of the states. His true answer is Texas plus Ted Cruz.

Quote:Originally posted by G: Creepy how he looks up over the audience at times, that preacher looking to God look. Besides the technical constitution stuff... I simply find his picking this issue to get jiggy with hard to understand, except that it's on familiar ground for HIM. The subject has been decided on by his followers and detractors, so why waste time preaching to the converted?
Quote:If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama's priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34355043
Quote:Following Boehner’s announcement, House Republicans said there was agreement to pass a clean spending bill to keep the government open. Several members of the Freedom Caucus, the conservative group which led the revolt against Boehner’s leadership, said they will now support the spending bill without demands that it include language to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2015/09/25/boehner-resigns/

Think please, before you answer. You probably meant Justice Kennedy who delivered the opinion of the Court, because Chief Justice Roberts filled a dissenting opinion, in which SCALIA and THOMAS, JJ., joined. Let's talk about Cruz's brain department. Did you know that Princeton still brags about Ted Cruz's debating skills? The Ted Cruz Living Memorial Novice Championship is a Princeton-only intramural tournament for Debate Panel novices. http://archive.is/JM2fq Princeton lists Ted four times on page https://debate.princeton.edu/results/hall-of-fame/ Team of the Year Speaker of the Year National Championship Top Speaker North American Debating Championship Top Speaker One person in a college level debate, The Speaker, serves as both the judge and arbiter of the rules during the round. It is plainly evident to me that when Ted Cruz is on TV he can only persuade a certain kind of “Speaker”. His skills won't change minds of anyone but another Republican. Ted does not make balanced decisions or arguments. Poor Ted. His skills have not grown once he left college. It does not matter what Ted talks about, no matter how complicated in the real world, it always fits into the 4 minute Leader of Opposition Rebuttal. He is still a twenty something on the college debate team.
