Also, during one of the first debates, Cruz and Bush had a back and forth where Cruz blamed W. for picking Roberts. Jeb reminded Cruz that Cruz had supported Roberts. Cruz then responds that he was wanting Luttig picked. Which one is it Cruz?
Cruz pushed for Luttig, who had been his boss. But once GWB picked Roberts, Cruz supported the pick. That is generally what is expected. As a boss, when making a decision, I want my people to give me their best judgment and to forcefully argue their point of view. Once I make a decision, however, I expect them to publicly support the decision to the hilt, even if they don't personally agree. Jeb should know that, he is being stupid. If he were president, do you think he would permit any of his staff to publicly oppose his nominations?
