Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) drew audible gasps Thursday when he told gathering of Christian conservatives that Democrats intended to amend the Constitution to limit free speech.

“When you think it can’t get any worse, it does,” Cruz warned at the Watchmen on the Wall gathering of pastors sponsored by the Family Research Council.

“This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment,” Cruz said, to the audible shock of the crowd.


The Tea Party-backed senator said Senate Democrats intend to vote this year on Senate Joint Resolution 19, which would effectively undo the unpopular U.S. Supreme Court decisions on campaign financing in the Citizens United and McCutcheon cases.

2. Really? Didn't know one party in Congress can repeal parts of the Constitution.

Oh, wait...

Come to think of it, maybe Harvard Law School should look into repealing Cruz' law degree.

4. Well. I guess are plans have been foiled.

Ted Cruz outsmarted us and thwarted our plans to destroy the first amendment.

Back to the drawing board, I guess.

8. By reasserting that untold millions of Corporate and Koch-cash is NOT speech

means they want to repeal the first amendment...go for it and kiss off Carnival Cruz.

9. Is it just me, or is every time this asshole sounds off

seem like a valid argument for restrictions on free speech to anyone else?

Personally I think Tedly feels sorry that the universal perception of his father is that he is a raving lunatic, and so to make his father seem more rational, he throws these tidbits around the lessen the effect of his father's words.
