What you talkin about Senator?
As a gay Jewish man I have never been a fan of Senator Cruz. So when I saw this being reported I did a triple-take.
“Consenting adults should be able to do what they wish in their private sexual activity, and government has no business in their bedrooms,” Cruz’s spokesperson told the newspaper.
The law has not been enforced since 2003 when it was ruled unconstitutional. But guess who refuses to agree with the shocking statement by Cruz? Justice Thomas. Justice Clarence Thomas had suggested that the court reconsider the Lawrence precedent.
And Cruz came out in as small a way as possible, in leaving gay marriage the law of the land.
“You’ve got a ton of people who have entered into gay marriages and it would be more than a little chaotic for the court to do something that somehow disrupted those marriages that have been entered into in accordance with the law,” Cruz said. “I think that would be a factor that would, would counsel restraint, that the court would be concerned about. But to be honest, I don’t think this court has any appetite for overturning any of these decisions.”
