Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) teamed up with Liberty Institute president Kelly Shackelford and the Houston pastors who were targeted by a recent subpoena that asked them to turn over sermons and other communications about homosexuality on Thursday to deliver a tough message to city officials.

During the press conference, which was held at Houston’s First Baptist Church, Cruz made it clear that he believes the subpoena is a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

“Caesar has no jurisdiction over the pulpit,” he proclaimed. “And when you subpoena one pastor, you subpoena every pastor.”

The senator also lambasted the subpoenas in a statement issued on the matter, calling the government act “shocking and shameful” and accusing officials of leading “an assault against religious liberty,” according to CBS News.
