Ted Cruz: Congress Should Strip Federal Courts Of Jurisdiction To Rule On Marriage Equality

TED "THE CLOWN" CRUZ

While Ted Cruz isn't the first to come up with a jurisdiction-stripping scheme for the nation's judiciary, it is still a radical idea. It's the type of idea that would get him the attention of religious right conservatives ... likely lots of positive attention from them.

Cruz’s remarks came during a speech in Sioux City, Iowa, where the tea party senator also praised the original, more discrimination-friendly version of Indiana’s new “religious liberty” law, and claimed that a cabal of liberals and big business endorsed a “radical gay marriage agenda” which says that “any person of faith is subject to persecution if they dare” disagree with marriage equality.READ MORE
