But here's a fun fact: From 2004 to 2009, Cruz taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin. What was he like at the head of a classroom? Cosmopolitan.com caught up with his former 2L student in 2008, Jason Steed, whose political affiliations lean Democratic, to find out. It was a small seminar course on Supreme Court litigation. I would guess there were around 15 students, maybe 20 at the most. Every class day was just sitting around with the tables arranged in a circle and we just discussed various aspects of Supreme Court litigation. A lot of it was Ted Cruz sort of telling more stories about his days as a clerk for Chief Justice Rehnquist, his experiences of handling different cases at the Supreme Court. As I recall, the main assignment was to take a case that was currently before the court. I think it was the Heller gun rights case, and we wrote a brief and had a mock argument where we took a side in the case and he provided feedback. That didn't take long - a former student recalling what kind of teacher a REPUBLICAN candidate was in the classroom. We have yet to hear about what kind of teacher the Obama was. Never heard from anyone who even went to school with him, EVER!
