One of the newly announced South Carolina co-chairs for Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) presidential campaign previously argued that the Utah judge who overturned the state’s gay marriage ban should be impeached.
That co-chair is state Sen. Lee Bright (R), who challenged Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the 2014 Republican primary. Bright, in 2014, griped about federal judges being “absolutely out of control on so many different fronts” and went on to suggest that U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby, the judge who struck down Utah’s ban on same-sex marriage, should be impeached.
In April, Cruz was hosted by a pair of gay hoteliers in Manhattan. At that dinner, he said that he would love his daughters just as much if one of them were gay. That’s despite Cruz saying he views marriage as between one man and one woman.
Cruz also supports a constitutional amendment prohibiting judges from overturning state marriage laws. Cruz suggested to The Washington Blade that courts don’t have the authority to rule for gay marriage.
“Because, as I said, I’m a constitutionalist,” Cruz told the Blade. “If a state chooses to adopt gay marriage, that’s within its constitutional authority to do so, but if it chooses not to, if it chooses traditional marriage, that is also within its constitutional purview. Part of the genius of the framers of our Constitution was allowing for the now 50 states to be laboratories of democracy, to adopt and reflect different policy choices state by state.”
Bright has also pushed for his home state to create its own currency.
McCarthy had his Roy Cohn, Alberta Rafael has Sen. Bright
Bright isn’t the best name for this guy.
He’s from South Carolina. Frightening thing is that in SC he’s the equivalent of a Rhodes Scholar.
I wish they’d stop with this impeachment crap. It’s tiresome and loathsome and just downright idiotic.
“Part of the genius of the framers of our Constitution was allowing for the now 50 states to be laboratories of democracy, to adopt and reflect different policy choices state by state.”
Part of the genius of the framers of our Constitution was setting baselines for the inalienable rights that all citizens of this country enjoy, thereby allowing for the now 50 states to be laboratories of democracy, to adopt and reflect different policy choices state by state WITHIN REASON.
FIFY, you putrid sack of pandering filth.
Everyone wants to talk about how smart this fucking jackass is, well fine…if he’s that smart, then he knows he’s wrong and he knows he’s lying. At least the ignorant rubes he’s manipulating…some of them anyway…don’t know any better and therefore have an excuse. Him…no excuse. Ergo, no quarter.
