Not known to me. Have never checked. 10,000 shares for a buck sounds overpriced considering their writers inability to not be coherent. Double negative.
Right Nathan, any idiot can graduate from an Ivy League law school - you should know. Oh, yeah, and all those lefty writers who got “duped” into thinking Cruz was so smart - they must be morons as well.
Very seldom (maybe once or twice a year) do I look at or read salon or huffington puffington. Can sense, from your provided photo, this one has never been exposed to the real world. A tour of duty would possibly do this one a world of good. Maybe am wrong though. From the looks of this one, would have to say deserter material that would offer aid and comfort to America’s enemies. Suppose I should look at salon and huffington a little more often to spot the treasonous that prefer the enemies and insane of America over the friends and sane of America.
Silly Vet, don’t you know that anyone who disagrees with a liberal/progressive/pileofsh*t only does so because they’re STUPID?
Just ask any L/P/PoS, they’ll tell you...
Me thinks he is the one with the panties.
Maybe he can write about how stupid the democraps are.
“It can’t really be that we think Cruz has a sophisticated mind, given that the only thoughts he produces are angry pants-on-fire platitudinous drivel.”
Translation: “Cruz doesn’t agree with me, therefore he must be stupid.”
Salon, of course. Nothing from there makes sense. But this twit thinks he knows more than Ted Cruz. Okay. /rolleyes
I’m pretty sure he’s misquoting Bertrand Russel at least.
Not only that, he was #2 after Ted Olsen in Bush vs. Gore.
Cruz served as a law clerk to J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 1995 and William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States in 1996. Cruz was the first Hispanic to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States.
Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devise strategy, and draft pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.
Cruz has authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court. Cruz’s record of having argued before the Supreme Court nine times is more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress. Cruz has commented on his nine cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court: “We ended up year after year arguing some of the biggest cases in the country. There was a degree of serendipity in that, but there was also a concerted effort to seek out and lead conservative fights.”
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
In 2004, Cruz was involved in the high-profile case, Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, in which Cruz wrote a U.S. Supreme Court brief on behalf of all 50 states which argued that a non-custodial parent does not have standing in court to sue to stop a public school from requiring its students to recite of the Pledge of Allegiance. The Supreme Court upheld the position of Cruz’s brief in a 9-0 decision.
Cruz served as lead counsel for the state and successfully defended the multiple litigation challenges to the 2003 Texas congressional redistricting plan in state and federal district courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court, which was decided 5-4 in his favor in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.
Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the cases of 51 Mexican nationals, all of whom were convicted of murder in the United States and were on death row.
Now remember, Ted Cruz is only 43.
HAHA. ‘Ted is really smart’
He recently rose to the challenge of “Upper Decker Double Blumpkins” and “Snowballing” as part of his matriculation, I believe.
