Cruz Forecasts Second Supreme Court Opening by Summer
White House Dossier ^ | February 23, 2017 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 02/23/2017 7:53:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

I would expect violent protest, at a minimum, from the Left if there is a second opening and President Trump nominates a true conservative. They simply will not accept a change in the balance of the Court.

Sen. Ted Cruz predicted Thursday that President Trump will have the ability to fill a second vacancy on the Supreme Court in 2017, the Washington Examiner reported.

“I think we’ll have another Supreme Court vacancy this summer,” Cruz said at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “If that happens, as much as the left is crazy now, they will go full Armageddon meltdown because the next vacancy is where we’ll have the ability to act and restore basic Constitution protections.”

The Texas Republican didn’t elaborate on who he believes will be leaving the court, although Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy is reportedly thinking about retirement.

Word has been around in GOP circles that Kennedy wants out.

I just hope, for the children’s sake, it’s not, God Forbid, pizzagate-related. That would be unbearable.

I still get freaked out at the thought that she came as close as she did to getting elected!!!!

God gave us a miracle; let us honor Him with word and deed, praying without ceasing for His mercy, wisdom, understanding, and knowledge upon our President, Donald Trump, and Vice President, Michael Pence, and all who exercise rightful authority that we may live in peace and please Him.

If you must hang mass-murder on Ted Cruz, at least make it the Yogurt Shop Murders, which happened while he was in town.

Sheesh.

As much as I don’t like Lyin’ Ted, I can appreciate his drive and spirit, and I could go with him taking over for McConnell.

They said on Fox & Friends a little while ago that Thomas’ wife said he has no plans to retire (paraphrasing).

Ginsberg won’t leave the bench until she is five days dead and starting to smell.
