Pandering to...
 

....the hopelessly ignorant...

As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments in a case that
could overturn state laws that restrict marriage to only between a man
and a woman, public support for same-sex marriage is at an all-time
high. But that hasn’t stopped Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) from launching a
last ditch effort to limit marriage to just heterosexual couples.

Cruz filed two bills this week, one of which would establish a
constitutional amendment protecting from legal action states that define
marriage as only between a man and a woman, according to Bloomberg News.
The other would stop federal courts from considering the same-sex
marriage issue until that amendment is in place.

While the legislation isn’t likely to make it far in the Senate –
similar legislation Cruz introduced last year also failed – the freshman
senator is sending a message to evangelical voters by proposing the
bills early in his campaign.

Yawn as you will, but Cruz simply is introducing legislation that
virtually all the GOP wannabe POTUSes would support and sign if they had
the opportunity.
