Per Wikipedia, Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in
Public Policy and graduated magna cum
laude from Harvard Law School. At
Harvard he was a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review and a named Fellow
in Law and Economics. After law school, Cruz
served as a law clerk to a judge of the Fourth Circuit US Court of Appeals and
then for Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic to clerk for a
Chief Justice of the United States.
Besides some years as an attorney in private practice, Cruz served as the Solicitor General of Texas for five years, the youngest and longest-serving in the history of that office. In the Senate, Cruz has been a tireless advocate for
individual liberty, Constitutionalism, and the impartial rule of law. He also has been a fierce critic of the
depredations of Barack Obama and his lieutenants on the integrity of the American
system of government.
Cruz is a strong and articulate advocate for his principles,
and so is feared politically by liberals (and some Republicans-in-Name-Only) who thus smear him endlessly in ways
large and small. One example of the
latter: just today National Public Radio, the ultra-liberal radio network largely
funded by the American taxpayers, referred to Cruz as a “white Hispanic”, a
term recently coined by the extremely-liberal New York Times to mean, in
liberal dog-whistle terms, that somehow he’s not an authentic Hispanic. Liberals have yet to refer to Barack Obama as
a white African-American. Unlike the milquetoast
Mitt Romney, a good man but timid politically, and the feckless John McCain,
who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, Cruz will be a strong candidate. I’m looking forward to his race.
