Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Verdict with Ted Cruz: "I've known you now, but 30 years, and seen you through different phases in your life as a law clerk, hanging out in my chambers as the SG of Texas, and now senator. So it's been a long journey, and also, it's just it's also an opportunity to say you're one of the people who actually stands up, particularly at times when others seem to wither, and I appreciate it. And more personally, when we my wife and I were under attack for obvious reasons, you and Mike Lee and some of the other friends would stand up, Senator Kennedy, etc. So I really appreciate that." Ted Cruz: "Justice, that that is very kind of you, and and especially for you to to observe that I stand up in the face of of criticism and attacks, that is that is powerful coming from you because you're someone who knows knows what that's like and and has done so in a way that has been been world changing."
