“In 2003, while Cruz was Texas Solicitor General, the Texas Attorney General’s office declined to defend Texas’ sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas, where the U.S. Supreme Court decided that state laws banning homosexual sex as illegal sodomy were unconstitutional.”

Ted Cruz worked for then Attorney General Greg Abbott.

Abbott ultimately makes the call as the boss, Cruz did not “punt”.

Did Cruz raise hell or meow like a kitten? It was not his job so he sat quietly. Thanks. Good to know.

Cruz took over on 2/10/03. He was in charge. The brief was filed 2/17. Court arguments began 3/26. Who better than he to take the case. I wish he would have.
