"I support traditional marriage and we should reject attempts by the Obama administration to force same-sex marriage on all 50 states," Cruz told 12News about the State Marriage Defense Act.

Spot on, get the Federal Government away from State issues.

Ted Cruz is the true conservative candidate, while others dither on this issue.

Ted Cruz.... there he goes again. He’s always gotta bring up the Constitution.

“”Look, I’m a Christian,” Cruz said. “Scripture commands us to love everybody. And what I have been talking about, with respect to same sex marriage, is the constitution, which is what we should all be focused on. The constitution gives marriage to elected state legislatures. It doesn’t give the power of marriage to a president or to un-elected judges to tear down the decisions enacted by democratically elected state legislatures.””

This guy is brilliant. He doesn’t fall for their straw man argument. He answers it briefly, succinctly, and on point. Then goes on to discuss the REAL subject, on his terms and conditions.

I can’t wait to see him in the debates.

Uh no, Ted. The Constitution leaves subjects it does not directly address (like marriage) to the States, OR THE PEOPLE.

And as far as I'm concerned, NO government has the authority to solemnize a marriage. It's a sacred commitment between two people and God, based on love - period. Government has nothing whatsoever to do with ANY of that.

The problem with Federal over-reach is there’s no prison sentence.

It’s like saying an anti-rape advocate is against people who want to have sex.
