Ted Cruz once was considered a hot-shot legal eagle, a former Texas solicitor general who has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, which for a lawyer is a big deal.<\/p>\n

Well, the junior U.S. senator from Texas — a Republican (naturally) — now finds himself the target of an ethics complaint filed by Texas lawyers alleging he went too far in seeking to block the certification of President Biden’s election in November 2020.<\/p>\n

The Texas Tribune reports: Lawyers with the 65 Project, an organization aiming to hold attorneys accountable for trying to keep former President Donald Trump in power despite his reelection loss,\u00a0filed an ethics complaint<\/a>\u00a0with the association Wednesday. It cites Cruz\u2019s role in a lawsuit seeking to void absentee ballots, numerous claims he made about voter fraud, plus an attempt to stop four states from using 2020 election results to appoint electors \u2014 all of which failed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Cruz knew that the allegations he was echoing had already been reviewed and rejected by courts. And he knew that claims of voter fraud or the election being stolen were false,\u201d the complaint says.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sheesh! The hits just never stop coming as they regard the Cruz Missile.<\/p>\n

The guy who once called Donald Trump a “sniveling coward” has become his most ardent Senate sycophant. He has shrouded his effort to block Biden’s election victory as a search for answers into allegations of widespread voter fraud, that they deserve a complete airing.<\/p>\n

Read my lips … Ted: The allegations have been proven time and again to be false.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As the Tribune reported: \u201cThe 65 Project is a far-left dark money smear machine run by a who\u2019s who of shameless Democrat hacks,\u201d a Cruz spokesperson said in an email. \u201cThey\u2019re not a credible organization and their complaint won\u2019t be worth the paper it\u2019s printed on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll just have to see about that. I am one Texan who wants some answers into whether this former legal hotshot has shot himself in both feet.<\/p>\n
