There's an answer, people just don't want to accept it. Just like the question why would a Christian not contradict someone who said they were the fulfillment of Mormon prophecy.
Ted's a walking false flag operation or Marxist Harvard profs wouldn't brag about how smart he is. When's the last time you heard any of the same sort of folks brag about Bork, Thomas, or even Scalia, all people with a record other than their law school efforts these profs focus on?
That's trash about how sharp Ted was in law school is just a signal to the big donors that they don't have to worry about Ted, not any real indication of what a good student he was no matter whether he was or not. Look at Roberts, that's what Ted would fill the court with. Two faced SOBs just like Ted.
For some strange reason all the people yammering about Ted and the USSC don't realize that to a law professor, the best student is the one that can argue either side of an issue with equal ease. All that "smart lawyer" cuts both ways. Enough with electing lawyers, it doesn't work in the best interests of the nation to have Congress full of people who can justify both sides of every issue with equal ease.
‘That’s trash about how sharp Ted was in law school is just a signal to the big donors that they don’t have to worry about Ted, not any real indication of what a good student he was no matter whether he was or not.

This is a great point that I have not seen made elsewhere. Yes, it IS amazing that the brilliant conservatives Bork, Thomas and Scalia garner no hard-leftist praise...but Cruz does. Agree with you about why this is the case, and agree even more with your conclusion that we already have enough lawyers entrenched in the DC Cartel. The lawyers are making matters exponentially worse; time to give a businessman a chance.
