[QUOTE="RickN, post: 2182436, member: 8854"] You mean he is a politician just like both Pauls???? Seriously like all political types you take him with a grain of salt, but he is much better then 95% of them on the hill. I can also not find a single hint as to when his wife went to work for Goldman Sachs. Was it after the banking collapse or before? Some real background on Cruz not from his political enemies. Ted Cruz encourages banks to leave Chicago because of Rahm Emanuel [url]http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/29/ted-cruz-encourages-banks-to-leave-chicago-because-of-rahm-emanuel/#ixzz2S0nrA0lH[/url] Cruz served as a law clerk to William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States, and J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.[22][2] Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States.[23] Cruz served as an associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department and as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under President George W.

Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.[2][21][24] Cruz has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America,[29][30] by The National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America,[31][32] and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.
