Here’s something Cruz has done for Texans: has blocked a helluva lot of liberal Obama appointees from taking US District Court seats in TX. And forced Obama to nominate a few moderate/conservatives to the bench instead just to get them through with Cruz’s consent.

In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the Washington, D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also 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 success in Heller, Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5–4 in Van Orden v. Perry.

and then there was something about “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” that was LOST for us until TED CRUZ.
