Following orders...much like a microwave or washing machine...minus the whole ruining of lives.
He was doing his job, and there is no reason to think that Mr. Cruz didn't think the Texas prohibition against sex toys was constitutional.
Whether or not sex toys should be legal or not wasn't the question at bar, it was whether the current law was permitted under the constitution. I'm sure that if the case was reheard today, Cruz would have the same opinion
But at the same time, I have to accept the rationale his PR person gave. It was his job to defend the Texas Legislature's decision, whether he agreed with it or not.
