Default 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.
