In an interview with Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep on Sunday in New York City, the GOP presidential hopeful doubled down on his belief that the court had overstepped its bounds in both the marriage decision and in upholding Obamacare. And as a result, Cruz said, the justices should be subject to elections and lose their lifetime appointments.

"This week in response to both of these decisions, I have called for another constitutional amendment — this one that would make members of the Supreme Court subject to periodic judicial retention elections," said Cruz.

Cruz said that 20 states have a system in place where voters can choose to either keep or remove their judges if they "overstep their bounds [and] violate the constitution."

"That is very much front and center something I intend to campaign on," he said. "And marriage and religious liberty are going to be integral, I believe, to motivating the American people to come out and vote for what's, ultimately, restoring our constitutional system."

never let an opportunity for political outrage or fundraising go to waste!

~2% of the population. And that's a generous estimate.

Again, both sides of this issue are nucking futs.

Didn't I tell you already, that's all Republicans have as their platform -- to try to get rid of Gays and their Marriage. That means an automatic Big STRIKE OUT for Cruz and his Republican ilk in 2016!

Let's ALL Remember Republicans Want To Remove Newly Won Civil Rights For Gays and Lesbians. Vote Against Republicans in 2016 In All Public Offices. Vote Democratic, They Protect American Civil Rights For ALL.

Or for excoriating prejudice to unabashedly show its ugly face.

Republicans Are Such Sore Losers When It Comes To A Person's Civil Rights.


NO REPUBLICAN BIGOTRY ACCEPTED IN AMERICA!

No Shit, what else does Conservative have to talk about ... :laugh:

Certainly the Economy, Jobs and Infrastructure won't be Front And Center :rollseyes:

It's gonna be all about Those Gays that 61% of Americans, including Evangelicals, now embrace!! But, but, but they're destroying our marriage!! Boo Hoo Hoo!!

Can't **stand** it anymore that Gays have rights equal to ours!! How did this happen? How? It's Sodom and Gomorrah revisited! It's got to be!! This is Armageddon!! Dear God, it's Armageddon!! And with the blessing of the Conservative Supreme Court no less! Boo hoo hoo! WAAAAAHHHHH, WAH WAH!!!! This is the end of us!! No more talking points to lure the naive to vote for our camp anymore! WAAAAHH and Oh Woe Is Me!

With the recent SCOTUS ruling on Same-Sex Marriage, it's now rained on their parade! Yep! so might as well remember the good ol' times when you could throw Gays to the back of the bus. Cause No More! http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/artists/viannen/viannen_87.gif

You are insane if you seriously think one party will ever win every single elected office in the nation.

It is also funny considering that there is no substantive difference between the two parties.

Lots of talk. No substance. But it keeps people distracted.

Both at the beck and call of special interests. We, the voters are only useful for pulling the lever.

I disagree with only who is pulling the levers....that honor is restricted to Oz-Behind-the-Curtain. We are tossed non-issues to keep us distracted while Oz & his owners do whatever they want. I suspect the levers on the voting machines are really disconnected.....I know our votes don't really influence the decisions that affect our lives.

[Tahuyaman]

No $#@!, what else does Conservative have to talk about ... :laugh:

The economy and jobs creation will probably be the most prevalent subject. Foreign policy will be number two and these social issues will be lower in the pecking order.

I agree. The Republicans talk a good game while campaigning, but seem to govern as if they are just trying to grow government and manage socialism more efficiently than Democrats.

Well, your blind partisan position on ALL reps is wrong:

"“While I disagree with Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage, I believe that all Americans have the right to contract,” the Kentucky senator wrote in the op-ed, published Sunday night. “The government should not prevent people from doing so, Paul said, adding that “does not mean that the government must confer a special imprimatur upon a new definition of marriage.”"

The Republican platform is constructed of one single plank? Opposition to gay marriage? I think you are incorrect.

I don't think they even need us for that... they just need our money.

I KNOW I'm correct! Try to get them away from the Gay marriage issue altogether and we can talk differently then.

Are you seriously saying that the Republican platform is only about an opposition to gay marriage?

that signature line is rather humorous. It's so far from the truth, it's delusional. Actually, the more battles the left wins, the angrier and more militant they become. It's weird.

It's amazing the degree of non-cognizance you exhibit when you fully realize your side has been soundly defeated.

How did you like your president Johnson's words on gay?

Called it a sickness.

But within the population, conservatism hasn't been defeated. That's why the left needs to depend on the courts to overturn the will of the people.

You should hear what he said about blacks. He absolutely hated blacks.

Smoke and mirrors so the sheep get distracted from real issues.

So what's the real Issue?

Isn't it the Economy, Jobs and Infrastructure?

[Bob]

You should hear what he said about blacks. He absolutely hated blacks.

He used them for politics

Turns out that previous to the CRA, blacks voted for Democrats about 70 percent of the time. Once that passed, it raised 20 percent. This proves it was not that issue changing blacks from republicans to democrats.

Money changed blacks to Democrats. Plain old money. So much so, the are paid for by Democrats.

[Peter1469]

So what's the real Issue?

Isn't it the Economy, Jobs and Infrastructure?

Not Cruz's opposition to gay marriage.

If indeed so, why am I not surprised? After all, he was from the draconian South where high prejudice and intolerance for another person's civil rights predominates.

You are looking at what happens when lawyers run EVERYTHING!!!!!! Common sense and intent means nothing anymore......

Quotes from the Devils Advocate:

Law is the ultimate backstage pass. There are now more students in law schools than lawyers walking the streets.

Don't get too cocky my boy. No matter how good you are don't ever let them see you coming. That's the gaffe my friend. You gotta keep yourself small. Innocuous. Be the little guy. You know, the nerd... the leper... shit-kickin' surfer.

Why the law? Because lawyers run everything.
