Can you explain? I come to FR to learn so would like to know about this.
Sure-
A Mexican national serially murder and raped in Texas, and was convicted and sentenced to death. But a Division of the World Court overturned his conviction because Texan law enforcement had not read the criminal his rights in Spanish.
Pres. George W Bush agreed, and adopted the World Court’s decision.
Cruz was Solicitor General in Texas at the time. Cruz opposed the World Court and Bush- took them to Court to argue the supremacy of the Texas and US Constitution.
It went to the Supreme Court- Cruz won.
If he had lost, or if he had acquiesced to Pres. Bush, international law would have superseded our Constitution, and your individual sovereignty thereunder.
Just think of it- Cruz, a young Texas official with aspirations, choose to put his personal career aside to oppose his own GOP President AND the Bush political family in Texas.
In my view- Cruz is a man of principle and deep moral conviction. I like Don Trump, not my business who supports him-— but it really frosts me when people on FR denigrate a patriot like Ted Cruz.
