Attacking "activist judges" is a golden oldie for Republicans right up there with attacking the media. So this is good politics for Cruz. The base want to see some one fighting back and not just giving in, even if the proposals are completely ludicrous. That is why Walker is now backing a constitutional amendment to let states ban the gay marriage. He knows that such a thing has 0% chance of happening but he cant afford to be outflanked by Cruz, Huckabee, Santorum if he wants to win Iowa.
I just hope some interview asks Cruz and/or Walker about the fantasy of how they will get the required large numbers of Democrats to back their new constitutional amendments
Let alone convince the 70% of Americans that support SSM.
That's always been the funniest thing about JCL's "YOU HAVEN'T WON YET" shtick. Sure rulings can be undone, bills passed, marriages yanked away from gay couples, but how exactly does he plan to stop the tide of popular opinion? When JCL is no longer part of minority of Americans, but a super-minority, will he still claim that gay marriage hasn't won?
