“To get an idea of how Cruz spins his deception, log onto his site and read why he says he voted for the Corker bill. It is embarrassing to think people would fall for it, but they do.”

Just one of many ‘mistakes’ by Ted.
I was just reading an old thread where Cruz is taking shots at the terrible SCOTUS John Roberts. Not mentioned by anyone is the fact that CRUZ is the lawyer working for Bush who pushed John Roberts on us in the first place. And he thinks we are a democracy!
“Those decisions are a threat to our democracy.” Cruz slammed Chief Justice John Roberts,

And the most interesting post :
I don’t believe Roberts was bribed or extorted— least not by the Left. Roberts was appointed by Bush-— and one need only ask oneself, where would the Bushes comes down on Obamacare— or gay marriage for that matter.
Roberts just did the bidding of his benefactors, the Bushian socialist, globalists.

Well, one of the “Bushian socialist, globalists” turned out to be Ted Cruz.
Here’s what Cruz said when he was pushing Roberts.
In 2005, Cruz wrote a National Review op-ed that said “[A]s a jurist, Judge Roberts’s approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent. “

and
“There’s rarely mention of his role in recruiting John Roberts, who would later get a seat on the Supreme Court, to the legal team doing battle for Bush during the 2000 Florida recount. No, that would undercut his rants now about Roberts’s insufficiently pure conservatism as the high court’s chief justice.
It would emphasize how well connected Cruz is. And it would contradict his pose for the presidential race, in which he is the prairie populist, replete with Western iconography and attire.”

Thanks for the ping. Thanks to for the link to the NYTimes article. :)
Bump!
On the subject of SCOTUS Nominees...
This is an interesting read.
Cruz later criticized Roberts, but it was too late.
Read who brought him on board the Bush team.
Read the praise he had for him during the nomination process.
See if you recognize any catch phrases in there. These are the exact terms Crewz uses to describe himself, and my inclination is to consider the terms probably about as accurate.
Constitutional Expert / John Roberts / Really?
