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.

Cruz is a racehorse....they should let him run.
Yep. Make a list of the senators you’d save from a sinking ship, Cruz would be top of the list. Unfortunately, my list would be very short.
Cruz has flaws but he has been a steadfast ally to Trump.
Chuckle. Cruz and Cotton would be 1 - 2. After that not really sure of the order either LOL. Johnson and Paul I guess, but had to think about it.
If you’re getting paid for these remarks I hope it isn’t much.
Texas has a Solicitor General and I would be shocked if he did not speak for the State. Prez DJT in his personal capacity has submitted a request to join the lawsuit as an intervener. This essentially is as a coplaintiff instead of as an amici as the states that have signed on.
So, if the NYT is accurate then I think it is much more likely that Sen. Cruz would be speaking directly for the Prez and not the State of Texas. BTW, Ted Cruz is an excellent constitutional lawyer, former AG of Texas and has argued a number of cases to the Supreme Court, winning most.
Supreme, maybe. But regarding POTUS, past scuttlebutt has maintained that Ted isn’t a Natural Born Citizen of the U.S. If that still cuts any ice.
The man knows law and has learned to trust the heart of one Donald J. Trump.
He will be fine.
It takes time used well.
I never lost one either...he needs someone who is heavy hitter and not considered partisan
Cruz also pushed crappy PA case, not Texas case. No trust from me
As I understand, Cruz also worked on the Bush - Gore election case. He argued before Chief Justice William Rehnquist
Been There done that?
One of the articles trying to criticize this case said the Texas solicitor general was not a part of it, which they used to try to discredit it. Either way Cruz is on Trump’s list for potential Supreme Court nominees, that guy is clearly not. If Trump trusts Cruz, then good enough for me.
Tell me one person that is not “partisan”.
Ted is a patriot and he has a spine.
I sort of like Cruz but I dont trust him where Trump is concerned.

Alan Dershowitz says Cruz is the best debater he ever had in law school.
