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.

” BTW, Ted Cruz was never the Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott was at the time of Heller. Cruz was the Texas Solicitor General. “

I thought I corrected that when previewing my post but I guess not. I looked it up when I was drafting the post because I couldn’t remember if it was AG or SG. Sorry, you are correct of course.Thanks for correcting my error.
