FOR THE REPUBLICANS: TED CRUZ DOESN’T BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MASTURBATE

I put your ATF on a winning team
“There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one’s genitals,” his legal team argued.

In its brief to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Cruz and his team argued that the plaintiffs challenging the law, a group of online retailers and Austin stores that sold sex toys, were not protected under the 14th Amendment’s right to privacy. In fact, he continued, banning obscene devices was in the public interest, and the government should be granted “police powers” for the purposes of “discouraging prurient interests in sexual gratification, combating the commercial sale of sex, and protecting minors.” Furthermore, using “obscene devices,” the state argued, was akin to “hiring a willing prostitute or engaging in consensual bigamy.”

    True. But what law prohibits it in private?

    Texas bill would fine men $100 each time they masturbate

    Per his college roommate, this is a new belief for Ted Cruz.

    “Ted Cruz thinks people don’t have a right to ‘stimulate their genitals.’ I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his” https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/ted-cru…

    I never really liked Ted Cruz much. He always seemed like a bit of a slimy guy.

    There are a lot of dumb geriatric white in Congress on the GOP side, especially in the South. But it's not fair to call Cruz dumb. He's about as close as you can get to a repulsive, evil, arrogant, prick. So that's a backhanded compliment, I guess.

    Happy Mother's Day!

    I just don't get how people can actually support such policies and politicians. Southern Republicans are like something out of the middle ages.

    I can't see anybody seriously trying to pass legislation making it illegal to masturbate. That's just beyond stupid.

    Where in that article does it say that Cruz wants masturbation to be illegal.

    "Ask Ted Cruz.

    That bill was facetiously proposed by a female lawmaker, not Ted Cruz.
