    Republican 'thought' leader comes out in favor of banning Jews, black, and gay people from private commercial participation in society which is exactly where SCOTUS is headed right now.

    NY Times - Supreme Court Seems Ready to Back Web Designer Opposed to Same-Sex Marriage
    The justices are expected to settle a question left open in 2018: how to reconcile claims of religious liberty with laws barring discrimination based on sexual orientation.

    You could say they and ol' Benny want federal civil rights laws 'terminated' like their cult leader Trump, along with state civil rights laws, and decades of judicial civil rights case law also terminated. Because that's how the discrimination that Ben Shapiro believes should exist comes about.

    I would not be surprised if SCOTUS hears a case and rules it unconstitutional...

    No, you don't. His daughter is the one who is suffering. She clearly has unmanaged issues whereas Ted Cruz just goes to Cancun when his come up.

    Ditto what Teelie said. Ted Cruz has done nothing to earn your respect. Like every Trumpist, it is likely he will not only ignore this Scrooge moment, but double down his efforts to be a complete ****-heel.

    The seeds have clearly been planted. This is the inherent danger that goes along with a historical strict constructionist Court. Everything remains antiquated in its thinking and it eliminates and/or disregards societal progression.
    The problem is that America has always deified its founding fathers, creating an almost idolization of their characters. As a kid, growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, I was essentially taught that they were perfect and that young George Washington couldn’t tell a lie, or that Jefferson was this devout public servant. They became idols who were untouchable. But the reality is that they laid firm foundations and built the country on a bedrock of institutional racism. We have slowly been trying to chip away at that bedrock for the past 150 years, but every victory is met with opposition. It’s been 2.2 steps forward and 2.08 steps back. The progress we make is literally baby steps. But now, with the Court that we currently have in place, we certainly run the risk of erasing even those baby steps and eliminating 60 years of gradual progress.

    It’s frustrating and scary.

    No you don't, the daughter yes but him? No, he's caused the toxic environment that most likely cause her to go down that path

    That clip, specifically that "was I human enough" look for approval he begs from the press pool, never fails to fill me with life much in the same way general, near universal ridicule sustains Rafeal himself.

    I have a feeling once all this J6 business has concluded, we'll come to find out Cruz is completely innocent with not a drop of blood attributed to him as even his own treasonous party wanted to exclude him from helping.

    Hopefully the daughter gets the help she needs.

    Must not be easy to be the child of a politician, especially one who is a POS like Cruz.
