The NYT's Flegenheimer provides this report on Ted Cruz as an aggressive young lawyer in the 2000 Bush campaign. Cruz had finished a clerkship with U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist in 1996-1997. He took the initiative to guide the legal filings before the Supreme Court in the 2000 Florida recount case Bush vs. Gore that decided the election result.

This article in the NYT shows the role played by Ted Cruz in the legal filings before the U.S. Supreme Court in the contested Florida election results for the 2000 presidential election, Gore vs. Bush. By this time Cruz already had finished Harvard Law School and a clerkship at the Supreme Court. He was a clerk for Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist from 1996-1997. This report in the NYT by Flegenheimer suggests a critical role was played by Cruz because he took the initiative to call Roberts (a future Chief Justice), and because of his keen sense on how the legal filings should be done before the Supreme Court. Cruz's aggressiveness may have cost him a senior policy role in the Bush Administration. Instead he was made solicitor general for Texas.

Many Democrats want to face Trump in November. They’re wrong. - The Washington Post

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
