When he was solicitor general of Texas, he had a piece of advice for the lawyers on his staff. �I tried to stress to every lawyer in the office that if any lawyer from the S.G.�s office stands in front of the judge and says, �The law is X and the facts are Y,� then that judge would always, always trust that we are levelling with them and telling the truth.� He�s approached politics the same way. �Since I became a senator, a year and a half ago, I�ve kept two promises to the people of Texas,� he said. �I have endeavored to do what I said I was going to do and I have always told the truth. It says something about Washington that those are perceived as radical acts.� "
