Ever Had a Look at Ted Cruz's Resume?

[Reaganite Republican]

You know, the emerging conservative leader in the US Senate- same one the GOP old-guard spent million$ trying to defeat... that one:

• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, and had the longest tenure in Texas history. 

• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice. 

• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court

• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States

• Described as a 'superb' constitutional lawyer, the man's considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all last week when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him answer the frickin question.

• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.

• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.

• Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission

• Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.

• Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation 
• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...
  he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

• AWARDS: "America's Leading Lawyers for Business," Chambers USA (2009 & 2010) "50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America," National Law Journal (2008) "25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century," Texas Lawyer (2010) "20 Young Hispanic Americans on the Rise," Newsweek (1999) Traphagen Distinguished Alumnus, Harvard Law School

• On November 14, 2012, Cruz was appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He is now spearheading efforts in the Senate to have Obamacare repealed root-and-branch...

Like The Great One Mark Levin says, re. this new wave of stand-straight-up patriots -TC, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, et. al: 'They're not perfect, nobody is- but they're damn good'.

[woofie]

clone him

[Reaganite Republican]

Big things coming the Senator’s way imho...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Clone him heck. Hire a food tester and insist that he not take any unaccompanied walks, ANYWHERE!!!

[stanne]

Oh, yes I have. And the beloved Rubio is nothing in comparison. I sure wish people would do a simple search on all their admirees. Cruz is a great debater because he is practiced at it and because he knows a lot about what he is talking about.

Rubio is so busy catering to. . . Oh well

[TexasCajun]

Now You Tell Me!

[pgkdan]

Love this guy. Cruz and Rand and Mike Lee give me hope. Marco Rubio too, even though I can’t agree 100% with his immigration reform, he’s still a sharp guy and a solid conservative.

[GraceG]

He seems to be a Texan version of Mark Levin....

I agree, clone him, many many times!!!

[chris37]

He certainly out lawyered Holder.

That was just fantastic!

And yeah, Rubio does not impress.

Words mean nothing. Do something conservative, stand up to our enemies, or sit down, s0n.

[pgkdan]

Rubio is so busy catering to. . . Oh well

Yeah...right. Rubio's only human. I am really sick of people who build our guys up into golden idols and then tear them down and curse them when they prove to be merely human. I fully expect to see you posting similar comments about Cruz in the not too distant future.

[Reaganite Republican]

Was just listening to an archived interview of the Senator with Levin, he and Cruz are like two peas in a pod...

[VRWCarea51]

'I am sorry Senator did I say earned it? What I thought you understood I meant was I earned the money to buy this Harvard Class ring. I actually just took a couple of law classes at the University of Chicago taught by adjunct instructors.'

[commish]

Yep, Cruz will be a god until the ‘one’ vote where he compromises on something or votes slightly wrong on the ‘one’ issue........

[Sirius Lee]

Cruz will accomplish great things. It’s too bad about the confusion over his NBC. He would make a great president. I pray that he never gets infected with Beltway corruption.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Words mean nothing. Do something conservative, stand up to our enemies, or sit down, s0n.

This. I'm tired of no action from people who were elected to provide it.

[Tupelo]

We are now a government:
Of the lawyers
For the lawyers
By the lawyers.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Sorry, don’t see “community organizer” in there anywhere, obviously an under achiever.

[quintr]

Ted Cruz resume

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Cruz should set up a POTUS exploratory committee and then petition the SCOTUS to determine his eligibility as a NBC.

That may be the only way to get this issue resolved. Want to watch BHO sweat bullets?
