• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court

• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief JusticeWilliam Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States

• Described as a 'superb' constitutional lawyer, the man's considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all last week when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him answer the $%#*! question.

• 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 order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...
  he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Like The Great One Mark Levin says, re. this new wave of stand-straight-up patriots -TC, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, et. al: 'They're not perfect, nobody is- but they're damn good'.

Proud to be a Texan.

Proud to call Cruz my Senator.

[americas.best.days...]

Reads just like old purple-lips CV.

Cruz/Gowdy 2016?

[MestaMachine]

Talking to a friend this morning on the phone, I said that I believe that Cruz might be the guardian angel we’ve been waiting for. I think he is a genius, actually, who uses his genious for good as opposed to the evil genious behind what has been taking place in America for too long. He is one of the smartest Patriots I have seen in a month of Sundays. He has nowhere to go but up.

[Shery]

Might need to move to TX!

[MestaMachine]

Ummm, Mesta, there is only one way to spell genius and genious ain’t it. Duh.

[rightwingextremist1776]

The more I learn about him the more I like him. I hope he runs for POTUS...he’s got my vote.

[iontheball]

I have coined him the Aztec Warrior.

You missed one of the most amazing qualities:

Ted Cruz attended Princton and Harvard Law School, where he was lauded for being an “Ivy League Debate Champion”.

This unique quality allowed him to reduce Diane Feinstein to a blubbering ........ - I couldn’t figure it out at first; his facial expression never changed; his tone of voice never changed.

THIS QUALITY WILL MAKE HIM ALMOST UNBEATABLE IN ANY DEBATE. It’s no wonder the left already hates him. They already know how difficult he will be to defeat.

I should have guessed his secret, since I loved being a part of debate teams when I was in grammar school and high school. We were taught the same technique - don’t change your facial expression, and don’t lose your cool.

I found out about the Senator’s special skill when I got my Limbaugh Letter; the guest article was about Ted Cruz.

[faucetman]

Ted Cruz was born in Canada, nuff said

[Reaganite Republican]

Best man our side’s got right now- period

[magua]

Got my vote.

[Whenifhow]

This is a fantastic speech. This guy knows Obama’s tricks! He said that Obama had put into policy that people at the funerals of veterans could NOT say “God Bless you”.

Since Cruz had already successfully challenged a number of other attacks on the Bill of Rights in the courts, Obama backed off on this one.

The video gives encouragement. It is inspiring and well worth the 20 minutes.

My son and I had the pleasure of visiting D.C. for my son’s high school senior trip. Being from Texas, I contacted Sen. Cruz’s office for gallery passes. What I got in a return e-mail inviting me to his “Texas Tuesday Coffee”. I would get to meet the Senator, have a picture taken, etc. In the back of my mind I thought photo op and good-bye. Instead I got a report on the current legislation before the Senate, a brief conversation and then a photo.

Ted Cruz is a man that won’t back down if he feels his argument is the correct one. And as long as he doesn’t “read his own press clippings” will be a major asset to the conservative cause.

[MestaMachine]

Cruz also knows the Constitution, obviously believes in it, and is more than willing to fight for it against all comers. I am extremely impressed with Cruz and that admiration grows nearly every day.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There’s always a scab picker...

[drinktheobamakoolaid]

ditto

[Viennacon]

I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
