Rep. Jared Polis Intros House Bill To Stop Rep. Steve King From Introducing Bills

From the official site of openly gay Rep. Jared Polis:

On the heels of Rep. Steve King’s outrageous announcement Wednesday of his “Restrain the Judges on Marriage Act,” Rep. Jared Polis (CO-02) today proposed the “Restrain Steve King from Legislating Act.” The bill would prevent Steve King from abusing taxpayer dollars by substituting the judgments of the nation’s duly serving judicial branch of government with his own beliefs.

“For too long, Steve King has overstepped his constitutionally nonexistent judicial authority,” Polis said. “Mr. King has perverted the Constitution to create rights to things such as discrimination, bullying, and disparate treatment. These efforts to enshrine these appalling values as constitutional rights were not envisioned by the voters, or by King’s colleagues who must currently try to restrain his attempts to single-handedly rewrite the nation’s founding principles on a bill-by-bill basis.

“I urge the House to bring this bill to the floor. If passed, my bill would preserve the right of millions of voters in all 50 states who would prefer that Steve King refrain from legislating a role for himself in their marriage decisions.”

Today On TedCruz.com

Via New York Magazine:

Despite his effort to win over social media tonight ... or the few people awake just after midnight on Monday, what really lit up Twitter was the website TedCruz.com. While TedCruz.org leads to a spiffy new campaign website, TedCruz.com features a black page with the message "SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA. IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!" Many wondered who orchestrated this impressive jab, but Mother Jones actually solved this mystery last spring. The site has belonged to an Arizona attorney by the same name since 2008.

JMG reader Jerry also points out that another URL that bears the Cruz name simply redirects to the government's Obamacare site.
