Via JMG: Hotelier Ian Reisner Reacts To Cruz Flap
NOTE: There are conflicting reports at whether the event with Cruz was a fundraiser. CNN is saying that it was, but the New York Times is saying this "Mr. Cruz was on a fund-raising tour of New York City, although the dinner was not a fund-raiser." I've added this notation to previous posts on this topic.
Via JMG: Ted Cruz Files Two Anti-Gay Marriage Bills
Days before the U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on same-sex marriage, Senator Ted Cruz has filed two bills to protect states that bar gay couples from marrying. Cruz's legislation would establish a constitutional amendment shielding states that define marriage as between one woman and one man from legal action, according to bill language obtained by Bloomberg News. A second bill would bar federal courts from further weighing in on the marriage issue until such an amendment is adopted. While Cruz's legislation would face solid opposition in the Senate, it is an attempt to force his competitors to keep the issue alive even if the court rules in favor of same-sex marriage. Last year, Cruz and Utah Senator Mike Lee filed similar legislation to protect more than 30 states that currently define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, but those bills died when the session in a Democratic-controlled congress ended.The bills are here and here.

“É importante que possamos ensinar para as nossas crianças sobre a
impermanência. Elas precisam saber que o envelhecimento e a morte são
fenômenos inerentes a este plano. Desde cedo elas podem compreender que o
corpo tem prazo de validade e que somente aquele que habita o corpo é
permanente.”
