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.
