Yes, did Ted Cruz ever say he was against the law but had to do his duty to uphold it? Or was he a backer of the law’s stated aim from the get go?

Read the brief and tell me if you can discern what Ted's opinion of the law was. You can't - and that is exactly how it should be. Whether he agreed with the law or not is immaterial. His job was to defend a law, passed by the state, to the best of his abilities and within the bounds of the state and Federal constitutions. The question was not whether it was a good law, or a smart law - it was whether or not the law was Constitutional.

I can't believe how many on this forum would apparently be fine with a state official substituting his/her own personal opinion in place of the duly passed law that he/she is sworn to defend. That is usually something I associate with liberals - but since most of the people attacking Cruz for this are Trump supporters, that fits.

This is nothing new for Dominionists. I want to hear it from Cruz himself now that he is out of office.
