I hope had GOP, miserable though it may be, resists and denies any Obama appointee.

I think the best people for nominating good ones would be Cruz or Rubio. Of course, either one of them would also be good as a justice.

You are a truly pathetic individual.

Right so do you think Donnie’s idiot liberal sister would any better then Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg?

[CrosscutSaw]

Reading Cruz’s statement, I can hear his piercing, nasal voice, declaiming. Just as he talks like an orator, not a human, he writes like an orator, not a human.

Can't we put aside the petty digs at a moment like this and unite in mourning the passing of such a great man?

I would hope the supporters of all the GOP candidates would unite to try to prevent Obama from nominating Justice Scalia's replacement.

Cruz is a worthless Canadian. He has no chance in the general and would ensure a Hillary victory. Quit trying to campaign on Justice Scalia. Sick!

Another Cruz thread and another worthless post from patriciaQ.

Couldn't be any worse than Roberts....see, I can sling shit right back at ya, doesn't take any talent if you get my drift.

Trump likes Scalia and Thomas, he was being kind to his sister.

Why don't you knock off the attacks and concentrate on the real enemies, sanders and clintoon for a change?

“Cruz is every bit the American that you are, dipstick.”

I’m Canadian.

Thanks for that fantastic post!!!

RIP Scalia. Decent people everywhere thank you for your service, and we thank you for not leaving your seat during Soetoro’s administration. It’s a shame you were slaughtered by the Leftists instead of being able to die peacefully in retirement, but you of all people know that making this country great demands sacrifice.

I can hear Trump screaming about Scalia being against Affirmative Action and praising his own leftie sister. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/423196/trump-praises-his-sister-pro-abortion-extremist-judge-ramesh-ponnuru

I am not surprised the Cruz sickos take this opportunity to place a soapbox on Scalia`s warm corpse and campaign for Ted Cruz.

You Cruz folks need to pull yourselves together, your gonna burn out and be in the funny farm before you get a chance to vote for Cruz

Add Cruz wrote a piece in his favorite magazine supporting Chief Justice Roberts

Was that before or after Roberts went off the rails?

Another lie about Ted Cruz from a Trump supporter.

How so ...........Unexpected.

Cruz penned an article in support of Roberts in 2005, long before Roberts showed any liberal tendencies.

Ted Cruz Reverses His Support for Chief Justice Roberts

Quit Trump Supporter Lie exposed!

I don't mind being in the minority, and I will tell you my opinion (because I don't care what someone on the internet says about me): Roberts, by punting the decision back to the electorate, espoused a conservative legal opinion.

Just because conservatives don't like the way the decision broke, doesn't mean that the decision itself is not conservative. (Before anyone goes crazy, the alternative at the other end of the scale is "judicial activism").

So basically what happened is, after getting screwed-over at every stage of the political process, we hoped the SCOTUS would help. But it didn't. And now we're mad.
