Here is Cruz's response to Dewhurst's claims.gdanaher wrote:I personally am not fond of any of the candidates who are running for the Senate, but Cruz seems to be pandering to the dumbest of the dumb. Why should we support someone who is prepared to sell the nation and the state out for high legal fees? I'm sure there is more to that story, including the fact that everyone is entitled to good representation, but you don't represent foreign interests at the same time as you run for Senate. If this is an indication of level of intelligence and good judgement, we should be voting for Pee Wee Herman.

Below is probably the best one that covers it.
There is also this.Ted works for a large law firm, with over 1,200 lawyers all over the world. The firm represents thousands of clients in tens of thousands of matters. One of those cases is a private civil lawsuit among several commercial tire companies, one of which is based in China. After that company was hit with a $26 million judgment, it hired the firm where Ted works to handle the appeal.
As for your Pew Wee Herman comment, FWIW most Republicans will likely be voting for Romney so there is that.Again, Ted did not argue this appeal. He did however, argue, before the U.S. Supreme Court, a major case involving a stolen U.S. patent. Global Tech v. SEB. Ted represented a large manufacturer before the U.S. Supreme Court against a Chinese company that had stolen a U.S. patent. At Ted’s urging, the Court, 8-1, upheld a $5 million verdict against the Chinese counterfeiter and adopted a strict legal standard against those who misappropriate U.S. intellectual property.
