I would listen to Cruz before Rubin about whether a proposed law is consistent with the rule of law or not...but then I voted for Cruz twice:
From 2004-09, he taught U.S. Supreme Court Litigation as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law.
Prior to becoming Solicitor General, he served as the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, as Associate Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, and as Domestic Policy Advisor on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
Ted graduated with honors from Princeton University and with high honors from Harvard Law School. He served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for the Chief Justice of the United States.
Ted Cruz is indeed a man of distinction and genuine accomplishment, overcoming those two considerable handicaps that you cited.
Yeah I’ve had that suspicion too. Ted Cruz is an intelligent, thoughtful conservative who grounds his ideas in sound reasoning, logic and Constitutional history. Which automatically disqualifies him as a nominee or running mate. The globalist dirtbags, and the parasitic pseudo-capitalists among the insurers and banksters who seem to have seized control of the GOP establishment lately, instead prefer a mealy-mouthed half-wit like McCain or Graham that they can rely on to pander. And of course to kiss the ring of the pseudo-conservative internationalist neocons and cronyist big businesses who rely on back-scratching with big government rather than actually producing something of value (as the current H-1B and amnesty fiascoes are demonstrating). Cruz in comparison is a thinking conservative who refuses to do this. Which of course means that he’s ineligible from the start. Little surprise that the GOPe’s lapdogs like Jen Rubin have already been sicced on him to lay him low. And with the MSM propaganda as refined as it is, and all the media distractions to lull the minds of impressionable voters, the desired effect is probably already setting in.
