Just skimmed thru an article at Business Insider about this topic. Didn’t really get too deep into it as I was reading it at a red light, but....
Said that Cruz was only 27 when he was hired by Boner and that he had just recently come from being Rehnquist’s law clerk. Let’s just say that a person graduates college at 21, goes to law school and is done at say 24. Clerks for Rehnquist for a year(’96-97). The Boehner thing happened in ‘98.
So, Cruz isn’t a year out of being a clerk and is already hired for a high profile case? I don’t give a damn how great a debater he was in college, one year out of law school(effectively), with no real work/trial experience other than looking up case law/precedents/doing research for the judge, and he lands a high profile case like that.
Could just be me, but something don’t seem right about that. Unless he was just working for the law firm that Boner hired and due to his relationship with a member of SCOTUS, was put on the team.
Lyin’ Ted and Cryin’ John.
Your post 29 was about Cruz being able to get a high profile position/ case with little experience.
There are so many questions about his resume and one other thing I have a hard time believing Heidi as the daughter of missionaries went to top schools and worked in the Bush admin, etc.
Follow the money
Boehner had other lawyers. Likely hired Cruz because he was walking out of Rehnquist’s office. That happens a lot in politics. Young ivy league rookies are groomed with things that look great on a CV.
The best lawyers don’t work for politicians. They don’t. Too much BS. The best work for the big bucks which is why the judges are populated by mostly weak loser types.
Trump is stepping in because the SHTF is a micron from happening or has already started. Trump will bring in the best who are already wealthy.
