That’s not the point. The point is that Cruz went out of his way to endorse and advocate for Roberts:
Cruz went on to call Roberts “one of the very best advocates ever,” who exemplified “how to try to carry out our craft with the highest level of skill and integrity.”
In that same message, dated Sept. 13, 2005, Cruz called Roberts “the best Supreme Court litigator in the nation.”
The context was we would have gotten H Meyers instead.
Bad.
