This is why Cruz can manuver Washington....and why Sarah supports him....and puts him at the top of the list....he knows political law and otherwise....and he fully stands on the Constitution and knows what it is and means......
Thanks to 2nd Division Vet for this brief:
“Cruz was only the primary editor of the law review at Harvard Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude....... and was founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review, the Attorney General of our largest contiguous state,...... and served as a law clerk to J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States in 1996.... as the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States..... and assembled the Bush legal team,... devised strategy,..... and drafted pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, ....leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.”
Cruz is perhaps the most intellectually gifted conservative I have seen in my lifetime (to take nothing from Reagan). That does not mean I believe him to be knowledgeable on every issue. Palin has the ability, but clearly not the education, nor did she take the time to correct that deficit when she had the opportunity, unlike Reagan who toured the nation while with GE learning how manufacturing really works. Empty platitudes are not enough.
