Estrada was a friend of Bush’s solicitor general...Ted Cruz.
In fact, Cruz is friends with and supported the one pick Obama has mentioned as who he might appoint. Srikanth “Sri” Srinivasan.
” Cruz, who clerked with Srinivasan at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, quipped, “I am hopeful that our friendship will not be seen as a strike against you by some.””
Estrada was also in support of Elena Kagen.
