Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Negative . Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .
yes

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jamie Weis is Negative . The original lawyers were replaced with salaried public defenders  who do not usually work on capital cases. Those lawyers asked to withdraw  saying they did not have the time  financing or qualifications to properly pursue a death penalty case. Weis argued that he should have had the first legal team  and refused to work with the second.
 The fight continued for the next two years; in that time  Weis' mother  who was expected to testify on his behalf  died.
 Justice Harold D. Melton  writing for a four-justice majority  found that the trial delay was "brought about by Weis and his attorneys  and not the funding issues." Countering arguments that there had been a "systemic breakdown in the public defender system " he said  "There are still attorneys within that system who are available to represent the criminal defendant."
 In dissent  Justice Hugh P. Thompson wrote that the Constitution requires that Weis receive a "vigorous defense " and that Georgia "cannot shirk this responsibility because it is experiencing budgetary constraints."

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy is Negative . MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) -  Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy  said on Saturday  he  would not rule out using the constitutional powers to remove Cataloniaâs autonomous status if it claimed independence as tens of thousands took to the streets to call for talks.
Until now   Rajoy  has remained vague on whether  he  would use article 155  the so-called nuclear option  of the constitution which enables  him  to sack the regional government and call a fresh local election.
In an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais on Saturday  Rajoy  was asked if  he  was ready to trigger the article 155 of the constitution  and said: âI donât rule out absolutely anything that is within the law ... Ideally  it shouldnât be necessary to implement extreme solutions but for that not to happen things would have to be changed.â
While Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has said he is open to mediation   Rajoy  has demanded  he  give up the independence campaign before discussions can be held.
 Rajoy âs government mobilized thousands of national police to stop Sundayâs vote  leading to clashes with would-be voters as they tried to close polling stations in schools and remove ballot boxes.
In the El Pais interview   Rajoy  said the around 4 000 extra police shipped in to the region would stay until the conflict had been resolved.
