I'm so glad the world has David Corn of Mother Jones. Without him, how would we get the most pressing and important information on our Republican Presidential candidates? After all, it's not everyone who can read Wikipedia and use Google so masterfully.
This week, we learn from our intrepid reporter that not only is Ted Cruz an attorney, but he also once represented clients.
After serving over five years as the state of Texas’ top lawyer, Cruz in 2008 joined the Houston office of the high-powered, international law firm Morgan Lewis to lead its Supreme Court and national appellate practice. He stepped down as a partner in the firm after being elected a US senator in 2012. During his stint at Morgan Lewis, Cruz, who casts himself as a politician who stands on principle, handled several cases that cut against his political stances. He twice worked on cases in New Mexico to secure $50 million-plus jury awards (though, as a politician, he has called for tort reform that would prevent these sorts of awards). He assisted a lawsuit filed by a man who was wrongfully convicted of murder and nearly executed (though, as a politician, he has insisted the criminal justice system functions just fine when it comes to capital punishment). And in one case, he filed a brief supporting President Barack Obama’s stimulus (though, as a politician, Cruz has slammed this Obama initiative).
I write long paragraphs and that is a hell of along paragraph.
Anyway, clearly Ted Cruz is history's greatest monster because he was occasionally assigned cases where he had to go to court to represent someone to the best of his ability as a lawyer, something literally everyone who graduates law school and goes on to practice law is basically required to do....

Mother Jones is like MSNBC, but not as amusing. What a piece of trash that rag is.
Well that’s it, I’m not voting for him now.
Boston Massacre.
Cruz is in good company.
Looks like someone at “Mother Jones” finally figured out that Solicitor is another name for Lawyer.
I knew there was something about the guy I didn’t like. Also he doesn’t like guacamole.
“Mother Jones is like MSNBC, but not as amusing. What a piece of trash that rag is.”
We say Mother Jones is like MSNBC just without the personality.
Just like Abraham Lincoln?
Yeah, but nary a peep about Hillary defending a child rapist.
Ted Cruz was a lawyer?? O-M-G! This changes everything!
/sarcasm
Oh, well, I STILL love Cruz. Better make another donation to his campaign after this hit piece.
FDR, JFK, John Adams, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Calvin Coolidge, etc., etc...
Mitt Romney was also a lawyer.
Just wait till they find out he's a Republican.
David Corn is a POS even by RAT propagandist standards. He is that congealed slime in the bottom of a Chinese restaurant’s dumpster.
I know, I saw that question. Isn’t it racist to ask him? After all, all Latinos are supposed to like guacamole.
