We don’t need someone that has been advanced by affirmative action. [Cruz] is touted a the “first hispanic solicitor general of Texas” and the “first hispanic law clerk for the Supreme Court”.

You don't believe he earned those posts???!!!

Like Clarence Thomas, Cruz is 100% against affirmative action --because it's unconstitutional!

Clarence Thomas was appointed to the “black seat” on the Supreme Court because that’s who he was replacing. I think the same is true for Ted Cruz. Not saying both of them were not smart. But if both were WASPS would they still be where they are?
