Wow, what alternate reality are you living in? I give Ted a lot of credit, but I don't think anyone rational tries to endow him with the same super powers you folks seem to believe the Trump has. All by himself Ted could have stopped the queer mafia? Always when Trump is sucking like a hoover you guys try to tear down others so Trump doesn't look so small. To quote your guy "Sad"! **nononono*

I am coming to conclusion that this strange obsessive fixation DJT and his supporters have with Cruz is some kind of psycho-sexual thing.

And the lies keep coming.

Was Cruz the solicitor general of Texas when Lawrence v Texas when to the Supreme Court? Did Harris county ask the solicitor general of Texas (Cruz) to help argue the case? Did Cruz help Harris county with the case?

Answer these questions before you call me a lair. CRUZ is a PHONY.

Pretty hard to do when you happen to be working at the Federal Trade Commission at the time.  But why let 'truth' get in the way of a good Ted Cruz bash.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Answer these questions before you call me a lair. CRUZ is a PHONY.

Question 1:  No.
Question 2:  No.
Question 3:  No.

John Cornyn was Attorney General when this case went to the Supreme Court.  Cornyn refused to have his office argue the case.  Harris County district attorney Charles Rosenthal wanted to lose the case because he was sympathetic to the plaintiff's case.  So there is no way in hell he would have wanted someone like Ted Cruz arguing his side.

Since I have answered these questions, is it now OK to call you a liar?

Then why the crack about Heidi Cruz? 

What next, Trump fans?  Are you now going to bring up Cruz's father?  Maybe you should mention his plot with Oswald to kill JFK.

You seem to be a bit confused AGAIN!

Yes he was Solicitor General of Texas at the time and worked for a man named John Cornyn who was Attorney General then and it was he who refused to allow his office to defend the case!

1) You Lie; Cruz was Texas Solicitor General when Lawrence v Texas was litigated.

In 2003, while Cruz was Texas Solicitor General, the Texas Attorney General's office declined to defend Texas' sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas

YOU are an idiot!  The Attorney general of Texas at the time was none other than John Cornyn and HE is the fellow who refused to allow his office to defend the case!

BULL, as Texas Solicitor General Cruz could take any case he wanted, Cruz bailed out on the most important traditional values case ever. CRUZ IS A PHONY. And it was Greg Abbett not John Cornly that was AG of Texas at the time.

And you are calling me an idiot when you have no clue as to who was AG at the time, wow.

ABSOLUTELY not!  The Solicitor General works for and takes direction from the Attorney General!

And you call me a liar, Cruz was the solicitor general of Texas when Lawerance v Texas was argued before the Supreme Court.

The case went to the USSC on December 2, 2002.  Amicus briefs began being accepted at that time.  The Attorney General of Texas refused to cooperate with the case lest it harm his Senate run.

Ted Cruz remained at the FTC until the end of January before taking over the Solicitor General position.  As Solicitor General, he operated under the direction of the Attorney General's office - the same office that had already recused itself from involvement in the case.

Oral arguments began on March 26, 2003.  When the case was argued, yes, Ted Cruz was Solicitor General.  But no, the Texas Attorney General did not change course.  And no, Ted Cruz was not asked to argue the case.

So to say that Ted Cruz took a pass on Lawrence v. Texas is a pure unadulterated lie.  And anyone claiming as such is a liar.

Cruz had a opportunity to fight for traditional values and he took a pass. CRUZ IS A PHONY.

So are you willing to admit you were wrong to say John Corlyn was Tx AG when Cruz was Solicitor General? Any conversation we might have starts with you admitting I was right and you were wrong.

The question is regarding Sen. Cruz's apparently conflicting positions on privacy: adults can do whatever they want in the bedroom so long as they don't use adult sex toys.

Doesn't sound consistent to me and, worse, it appears that at one time Cruz was fine with the state inserting itself — couldn't resist that one — into people's private sex lives.

Over a year ago, when I thought the GOP stood for something, Senator Cruz was my least favorite Republican.  I have come to respect him more for his years of support for Israel and his opposition to abortion, but I must agree with you aligncare, it is truly sad to see a politician with an inconsistent philosophy on an issue.  Even worse is a politician who has an inconsistent philosophy from week to week, day to day, hour to minute...sometimes back to back tweets.

Another lie.  Again, that makes you a liar.  Ted Cruz took over as Solicitor General eight weeks after the Supreme Court took the case.  He played no role in submitting any amicus briefs already filed, and had done zero work reviewing the case.  As Solicitor General, he worked for the Attorney General's office which had already recused itself from the case.  The only way Cruz could have argued the case would be if he resigned from the FTC in December 2002 and joined the legal team fighting the case.


All you have to do is google "Lawrence v. Texas Cruz". I have already documented your lies, I am done with you. Bye

You haven't documented jack shit.  All you did was pull a quote from wikipedia that anyone including yourself could have written.  It was a quote which you clearly did not bother to read because it discredits your very own argument.  Your quote again says that the Attorney General's office declined to defend the law.  So to say that Ted Cruz opted out is a flat out lie.  Which of course makes you a liar, which you proved yourself from your asinine wiki post.

Hey, something else I can agree with Ted Cruz about!  Ted Cruz for President, 2020!

 :thumbsup:

I can agree with that.  I think Ted Cruz should have fired whoever was liking porn on his web page.  It isn't consistent.  I sure would not like anyone misrepresenting me in that way.

John Cornyn was not AG when Cruz became Solicitor General.  However, John Cornyn was AG when the AG office decided not to participate in the Supreme Court case.

You said that Cruz was not the Solicitor General of Texas when Lawrence v Texas was argued before the Supreme court. Not True, see my previous comments where I documented the fact that Ted Cruz was the chief litigator for Texas when the Earth shattering, huge gay mafia win, that beat Texas at the Supreme court. Same sex marriage began with Lawrence v Texas. Thank you Ted Cruz.
