I'll just say this, Senator Ted Cruz is one of America's great fighters. He's got immense experience, having worked on Bush v Gore, and has argued before the SCOTUS several times.

Couldn't be in better hands!

He was on Bush v Gore too? Lol this whole thing is basically like they're getting the band back together, at this point.

4 of the current SCOTUS justices were involved in Bush V. Gore in one way or another, too.

Thomas actually voted with the majority, and is the last member of the majority who's still on the bench.

Roberts helped Bush with his defense at the SCOTUS, and both Barrett and Kavanaugh helped with litigation in the Florida courts.

It also says quiet a lot that a siting member of the Senate is giving oral arguments on behalf of a member of the house before the Judicial Branch, on a matter that directly effects the chief Executive.

Yeah let that bake for a few minutes.
