Here we go again.

When the pick was announced, everyone here at FR, gave it thumbs up. No one thought Roberts would become a turncoat that he is, so your little hit piece on Cruz is BS.

I think we all thought Roberts was a good choice. What a terrible disappointment.

It directly demonstrates Ted Cruz lied in the debate last night when he claimed no part in getting John Roberts appointed to the Supreme Court by he Bush Administration. I and many others did not approve of the John Roberts nomination when it occurred.

The point is that all of the big talk about “Cruz will guarantee...” when it comes to SCOTUS is HOT AIR.

He has no more special magic than anyone else. And he KNEW Roberts personally!

Absolutely correct.

He has stated over and over and over he was suggesting someone with a stronger conservative record.

Trump and his idolaters continue this attempted lie to smear Cruz.

At least Cruz has never said he would think an extreme pro-abortion wacko would make a good justice, unlike Trump.

Cruz was fully qualified to guide us on Roberts.

We at FR believed him and others about Roberts. We had no credentials to vet Roberts, but trusted them.

They misled us.

Roberts has been a disappointment.

Yes, I remember it well. Everyone thought Roberts was a good choice at the time. And I also remember folks shouting “Rubio for POTUS!” shortly after he came onto the scene. People have short memories!

Yes but WE didn't know about Robert's work in helping gay activists win at the SCOTUS. Cruz -- who CLERKED with Roberts for Rehnquist, surely did know all about it.
