Welcome aboard, Ted.

President Donald Trump has asked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to argue the state’s Supreme Court case seeking to overturn the results of the election, reports The New York Times.
The state of Texas is suing four swing states that certified wins for Joe Biden.
Attorney General Ken Paxton in the suit filed earlier this week argued that a handful of battleground states destroyed the integrity of the 2020 election vote totals and insists the U.S. Constitution was violated by allowing their legislatures to make last-minute changes that ignored federal electoral regulations.
Cruz on Monday offered to present before the Supreme Court the merits of a lawsuit filed by Rep. Mike Kelly claiming Pennsylvania’s 2019 voting reform bill is unconstitutional.
The high court on Tuesday rejected Kelly’s lawsuit.

Do we ever believe the NYT?
Oh Lord. I hope Ted doesn’t stab Trump in the back after their bitter campaign rivalry in 2015.
Keep on trolling...Worthless.
I heard the news on the Mark Levin show tonight. He had a fill-in tonight and he mentioned it.
I would hope it would be someone like Jay Sekulow.
Cruz has never list an argument in front of the Supreme Court!! Go Ted!!
Calm yourself.
President Trump asked Senator Ted Cruz on Tuesday night if he would be willing to argue a case filed by the Texas attorney general seeking to invalidate the election results in states like Pennsylvania in the event that it reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a person familiar with the discussion.
Mr. Cruz agreed.
I was also hoping it would be Jay Sekulow!!
I have my problems with Cruz.
However, he is a very smart lawyer
and debater.
I believe he will give his best effort to Trump.
And he has some great skill sets.
Otherwise he will look like the 3 GA Surrender Monkeys
(Kemp, Raffensperger and Male Model)
And I’m certain he does not want that.
I bet Jenna Ellis and Jay Sekulow are angry.
Awww. Heart gooding
Yeah, he’s good
Yeah, he’s good
Cruz has actually said more in support of Trump than a lot of other disgusting republicans. I think he will do his best. If he wins, he will go down in history for fighting against a FAKE ELECTION.
Sekulow is so good that he and Ellis were caught flat footed
in the early morning hours of Nov 4. And have been playing
catch up ever since.
Obviously, Trump did not want either one of them presenting
his case to the SC.
Good post as usual.
We have no idea if it’s true, consider the source.
But the implications warrant discussion.
Cruz is from Texas so that fits.
He was on Trump’s list of Supreme Court candidates, and has led cases there before, which should make him immensely qualified.
Politics is the ultimate blood sport though, so can anyone be trusted to defend a potential rival for all the marbles?
I guess my dream scenario would be Cruz presenting, Trump winning his second term, and then Cruz using it as a springboard to a SCOTUS or even POTUS seat later.
I guess I’m a Cruz missile now
You really don't follow national politics, do you?
