Here is Cruz’s resume (from 2013), before his senate career got going much.
The main one for me is his work as Attorney General of Texas, which has thousands of employees, and his victory in the Heller case:
excerpt:
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.
I am familiar with his resume, I voted for him. What I posted was “Senators do not actually do much which is one of the knocks against a Senator running for President” Washington himself said something to the effect that the Senate is a saucer into which we pour legislation to cool it. That means that is designed for the process to be slow and for Senators to not actually get much done. BTW, Ted Cruz was never the Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott was at the time of Heller. Cruz was the Texas Solicitor General. Alan Gura and Robert Levy were the lawyers for Heller who actually won the case. Ted Cruz drafted the amicus brief that was signed by 31 state AGs and presented oral arguments supporting it before the SCOTUS. I never said that he did not do great things as Texas Solicitor General. I said he has not actually done much as Senator, none of them do.
