He won 5 cases he argued in front of the USSC. One involving the Indivudual right to keep and Bear Arms. See Heller Decision.

Another consisting of the 10 Commandments and the 1st amendments. Both that directly affects how we are treated by our Government.

When you can match that with your ife's work be sure to ping us all k Keyboard warrior?

I have that beat 10 times over in the private sector, and Trump has him beat 100,000 times over.

Maybe the Bush/Rove RINOplex can find him something to do.

Soak thine head : )

Lawyers get paid to do this. Cruz could have just as easily been on the other side arguing against this cases.

No, he won two of 9. Most of the cases were not particularly groundbreaking.

Over nine trips to the Supreme Court, Cruz clearly lost four cases and won two. The other three rulings were less clear-cut. Five cases involved the death penalty. One dealt with Texas’ intense efforts to keep a calculator thief behind bars (not Cruz’s finest hour). Dretke v. Haley March 2, 2000 Michael Haley was sentenced to 14 years in prison for stealing a calculator from a Texas Wal-Mart even though the maximum was two years under state law. Haley later challenged his imprisonment, arguing that his original lawyer should have objected to the lengthy sentence. After lower courts found that Haley waited too long to object to the error, Haley appealed to the Supreme Court. Cruz essentially lost, the case was returned to the lower court who freed Mr Haley for time served.

Another was essentially a patent fight over a deep fat fryer.

Another case he was arguing for the Death penalty for mentally ill defendant. Panetti v. Quarterman April 18, 2007

Cruz’s most well-known case, involving convicted murderer José Medellín, reached the Supreme Court twice. Cruz ultimately won, allowing the state to execute Medellín despite an order from an international court and the urging of President George W. Bush to hold off so Medellín could receive a new hearing.
