Cruz Poses as Leader Against Gay Marriage

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-IA) “cast himself as a leading Republican opponent of same-sex marriage during an appearance before a crowd of evangelical Christians in Des Moines on Monday,” the Des Moines Register reports.

Cruz described the ongoing shift toward legal recognition for gay couples as an “unrelenting assault on traditional marriage,” and castigated judges who have struck down prohibitions for “ignoring their oaths, ignoring the Constitution and legislating from the bench.”
