Is That Ted Cruz In Your Pants...

Or are you just unhappy to see me? 🙁

Apparently, Ted Cruz, while a Texas state prosecutor, tried to uphold a Texas law banning the sale of dildos. He argued:

"There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one's genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship."

He lost the case. The 3 judge panel said:

"The case is not about public sex. It is not about controlling commerce in sex. It is about controlling what people do in the privacy of their own homes because the State is morally opposed to a certain type of consensual private intimate conduct."

The guy is creepy beyond belief, yet simultaneously the one shining hope of the GOP. Make of that what you will. :sneaky:

This is why I fear Cruz more than I do Trump. Cruz is an uber-creepy true believer. He oozes creepiness.

I still maintain he is the candidate portrayed by Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone.

Watching his own daughter treat him like a creeper, while he acted like a creeper, was the clincher. I bet he'd use her as a shield against an assassin too. 😀
 
I think I figured out the republican plot.
First.... eliminate Donald Trump by whatever means necessary even if it involves pretending to love Ted Cruz.
Second... after Trump's defeat, go after Cruz. Cruz should be much easier to totally obliterate because Cruz is much more hated and a lot more radical than Trump ever was.

After Trump and Cruz have been eliminated, the two angles of death for the republican party, then nominate either Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan.
 
Cruz utterly terrifies me. The very last thing we need is a hardcore Christian nutjob in office.

I would pick Trump over Cruz any day of the week, and that is some seriously unbelievably scary shit.

😱

Christian Taliban here we come. No pun intended.
 
While I understand as a State prosecutor he had to defend laws he may not agree with but this would be a wonderful interview question but sadly news groups will be afraid to talk about it.

Technically, Cruz never has been nor ever was a prosecutor. True, he was the head of the Office of Solicitor. But that office isn't for prosecution.

As the State of Texas AG's website puts it:

As the chief appellate lawyer for the State of Texas, the Solicitor General supervises all appellate litigation on behalf of the Office of the Attorney General.

In this case, it probably makes more sense Cruz would defend this law....but Cruz went much further than that during his tenure there.


Mr. Cruz’s predecessors filed only occasional friend-of-the-court briefs at the Supreme Court, perhaps three a year. Mr. Cruz filed more than 70 in his five-and-a-half-year tenure, from supporting Nebraska’s right to ban a late-term abortion procedure to opposing an effort to restrict the ownership of handguns in Washington.


The focus on Supreme Court cases that did not directly involve Texas dismayed some of the lawyers on the staff, who felt the office was losing its legal and ethical rigor in favor of politics and seeking headlines.

And from that, I'd almost be willing to bet Cruz actually enjoyed, no....felt compelled, to argue to uphold the sex toy ban in Texas.
