Lyin' Ted would not make a good AG; his family is connected to Lee Harvey Oswald--why aren't people talking about that? His wife is not you-know-what and Super-rich Donald will spill the beans on her as well as all of lyin' Ted's girlfriends. Ted is a nasty guy and no one likes him. Super-rich Donald does not need lyin' Ted or his voters and he has said so.
You know very little about Mr. Cruz. Junior Senator from Texas only held that office for 3 years. An associate deputy AG and domestic policy adviser for George W. Bush. He did a great job as the Solicitor General of Texas. He replaced Kay Bailey Hutchinson. In the landmark case of
District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the
amicus brief signed by the attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the
Washington, D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the
Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also successfully defended, in
Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt to re-open the cases of 51 Mexican nationals, all of whom were convicted of murder in the United States and were on death row.
[36][40][42][50] With the support of the
George W. Bush Administration, the petitioners argued that the United States had violated the
Vienna Convention on Consular Relations by failing to notify the convicted nationals of their opportunity to receive legal aid from the Mexican consulate.
[45][58] They based their case on a decision of the
International Court of Justice in the
Avena case which ruled that by failing to allow access to the Mexican consulate, the US had breached its obligations under the Convention.
[59] Texas won the case in a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court holding that ICJ decisions were not binding in domestic law and that the President had no power to enforce them.
