Cruz is not, and will never be, a judge, because . . . ?
Cruz argued nine cases in front of the Supreme Court in his role as Texas solicitor general. I’ve read his arguments, and he has a good, conservative, originalist legal mind. How many better picks can you name? [Trump will have to choose three or four for the Supreme Court, and I’d like to see Cruz as the first among those.]
He is going to send them looking for the submarine races. Give them something they think is important to do, and it distracts them from what is important. I doubt that whatever names he gives them are the ones he will seriously consider, its a shell game, and they will swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
And he knows none of them.
Really? You have great insider connections.
What scraps, they haven't thrown me a scrap in decades.
True there is no way the dem and GOPe senate would confirm him. Its not even rational to consider it and I am a Cruz supporter.
Isn’t this somehow illegal? I thought for some reason that candidates could not promise appointments before elections. I know it sounds stupid but pretty sure I remember this correctly. Somebody set me straight.
Did Trump ever put out the list of judges he’d consider for SCOTUS?
