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.
If that is correct then I can think of few better than Cruz to argue to the Supreme’s whether for the State or Trump in his personal capacity.
With this scenario such that existing Texas Solicitor General has cold feet, I have another twist that would maybe be interesting
1. Paxton thanks the current solicitor general for his ethics in disclosing the conflict then fires his ass.
2. Paxton finds the best, most MAGA passionate and SCOTUS level lawyer there is to argue Texas's case.
3. Cruz argues for Prez Trump.
Dream team is the name of the game.... Also, I am assuming that SOTUS both approves Prez Trump's intervener request and allots time for argument.
