We were talking about civil matters not criminal ones, apples and oranges.
I know nothing of Cruz, but being a lawyer doing his job should not disqualify him from representing the people who elected him.
I see. You can take "bad folks" money with impunity just not lock them up or deport them. That is a nice "just us" system that you support.
You aren't even making any sense, when did I say you couldn't lock up or deport "bad folks"
Duh? The difference between civil (money damages only) and criminal (jail/prison and deporation) penalties. You asserted that denying legal council to foreigners was OK in civil cases. Do try to keep up.
You seem to like the fact that Obama uses a dreamy version of our immigration law
Partial agreement...No they should not offer counsel to "folks" from other countries who were actively trying to destroy our economy. Especially if they want to be a US senator.
Partial agreement...
IMO, the Chinese are NOT trying to destroy anything.
The man from China should be represented by another from his nation, NOT an "American".
In the eyes of justice, "bad" and "good" are NOT supposed to exist , until after the fact...
Kay Bailey Hutchison is also a lawyer. Cornyn was a lawyer before he was the Texas Supremes' head justice.
From Wiki Answers:
Out of a total of 435 U.S. Representatives and 100 Senators (535 total in Congress), lawyers comprise the biggest voting block of one type, making up 43% of Congress. Sixty percent of the U.S. Senate is lawyers.
Enough said. 37.2% of the House of Representatives are lawyers.
There are 81 Republican lawyers in Congress who list "lawyer" as their profession. There are 123 Democrat lawyers in Congress that list "lawyer" as their profession. Some may have not told that they had a law degree or practiced law, because they were doing something else, e.g., doctor, industrialist, teacher, real estate agent/broker, etc. It seems that the medical and real estate professions are also heavily represented in Congress.
What percentage of US congress members are lawyers
The Jr. Senator from Texas is making quite a name for himself. Even the GOP is attacking him.
What do you think?
He is and up and coming star of the GOP and the dems fear him very much.
