I agree with you. when picking for this job you actually want some one of his temperament and conviction. I think he is horrible at being a elected politician but the same things that make him bad in this area make him a solid pick as a justice.
I agree with Cruz for SCOTUS. Everyone in the Senate hates him enough to vote to approve him to get him out of the Senate.
He’s a brilliant guy and would be a force on the court for decades. I disliked his non-endorsement of Donald at the convention, but it was a bruising campaign. He could also play the Latino card if held up in the Senate and race card always trumps liberals (for example, ‘high tech lynching’ was enough to get C.Thomas past them).
I think though he’s the 2nd or 3rd pick guy. The conservative African-American on the list would be a good one to pick just to make liberal heads explode.
