Why Ted Cruz fought to outlaw dildos in Texas

And I thought perhaps he was confused and thought somebody was selling a Ted Cruz doll.

They violate our precious bodily fluids too -

Dildos are unconstitutional and a communist plot to steal our precious bodily fluids!

Unfortunately, people focus on the sex and ignore important constitutional topics like substantive due process.

Ron Paul, I should note, sided with his state in Lawrence vs. Texas.
 
Does Texas have manufacturing plants like in this video?

Could you expect any less of Trump supporters?
 
OP didn't bother to post information concerning the link.

I suppose this is an issue that intimately affects the OP. Matt Collins, with regard to his affectation to dildo's. I dunno.

Just thought we all wanted a picture of that, deep down inside
 
The 14th Amendment is not a limitless fount of unwritten rights and it is not a blank check authorizing federal judges to overturn every state law they happen to find obnoxious or outdated. The states have always enjoyed broad authority to regulate in the name of health, safety, and public morals (so the argument goes) and the sex toy ban falls squarely within the scope of that longstanding state police power. If the people of Texas don't like the law, they should take their complaint to the ballot box, not to the federal courthouse.

nothing about morals in the 14th amendment.... as a libertarian i'm always disappointed to see this particular amendment trotted out there as an excuse to limit or legislate freedom of any kind.

Cruz’s GOP presidential campaign on Friday said that he was obligated to defend all Texas laws, including ones he disagreed with.
“Senator Cruz personally believes that the Texas law in question was, as [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence Thomas said in another context, an ‘uncommonly silly’ law,” spokeswoman Alice Stewart wrote in an email. "But the office was nonetheless duty-bound to defend the judgement of the Texas legislature."

The AP on Friday reported that the law was initially approved in the 1970s and banned any device “useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.”

The same law dictated that anyone owning six or more such items was presumed to be promoting sex toy usage through delivery, lending, manufacturing, sale or other means.

“[The Supreme Court] has never suggested that the substantive-due-process doctrine ensures individuals’ ability to stimulate their genitals in ways that are neither connected to procreation nor associated with any particular lifestyle,” Cruz reportedly wrote in an 83-page brief as Texas’s solicitor general.

“[The ban] is protecting public morals — discouraging prurient interests in sexual gratification,” he added, noting Texas had a moral authority in discouraging “autonomous sex.”
