Since the rule of law is no longer being followed here is something that I might go for. When Ted Cruz gets elected, he creates an EO that states marriage is between one man and one woman, and that as the executive branch he will enforce the EO.

and will be sending another donation to Cruz next week.

I do hope he can pull a Reagan and win in a landslide. But gotta get thru the primaries first.

a list of unknown names...so I just choose do not for them all.. theyre usually liberals anyway...

I do the same, however I suspect I am throwing out the Baby with the bath water.

I have often said we need some sort of data base/score card approach to election of Judges as we do the congressional score cards and that would take an enormous amount of work trying to sort through their daily court docket opinions.

Thanks, so TED CRUZ serves 8 years, then appoints himself to the Supreme Court, I like that idea, lol.

I and others have prayed OH GOD that YOU would send us help and that we all would be discerning as to who YOU have chosen. I for one believe that to be TED CRUZ......, clear, articulate and unnerved by those who seek to destroy him. May we all recognize that is our present day DAVID, and he has the stones. May your blessings be upon this great man of your choosing. AMEN

JMO and I don't care what anyone thinks of it.

If you believe voting will fix what is wrong, you’re part of the problem not the solution.

The situation we all find ourselves in today is our own fault for letting it get this far, but the ballot box is no longer valid.

Do I hope Cruz gets elected? Sure I do, but that won’t right the ship.

Taft didn’t appoint himself to the Supreme Court. I mistook your meaning. Harding appointed him Chief Justice.

You obviously didn’t bother to read through the link I left you that answers your question.

It’s not a light subject; it requires study and thought. So don’t take a glimpse at it and immediately come back to say yada yada yada rant rant rant!

If you don’t come back and say something meaningful, informative, insightful and well thought out OR you don’t come back humbly asking for more information or insight, then I’m not going to respond to any more of your useless posts.

Not only are the Court’s opinions untethered to reason and logic, they are also alien to our constitutional system of limited and divided government. By redefining the meaning of common words, and redesigning the most basic human institutions, this Court has crossed from the realm of activism into the arena of oligarchy.

We owe King George, III an apology, for we are no longer willing to fight the tyranny of unelected and unrestrained thugs in robes.

"Ted Cruz would make a superb SCOTUS justice himself. "

That’s a good point. Given the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, all that senators and presidents do these days is exercise constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.

Can a former POTUS be appointed to the Supreme Court?

"No argument here but it’s a longer term proposition. It won’t happen soon enough."

For argument’s sake, if patriots wake up low-information state lawmakers to the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, especially stolen state revenues in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes, then the Constitution can probably be amended sooner than the corrupt feds would like to think.

In fact, regarding getting rid of the IRS, state lawmakers are probably in a better position than Cruz to argue that getting rid of IRS will be one of the major benefits of repealing 17A.

Harding appointed Taft to Chief Justice in 1921.

Of course. That's already happened: William Howard Taft!

If Mr. Cruz is really serious about this problem then maybe we should get serious about repealing the 17th amendment and return to the system of selecting senators which brought us great statesmen like Daniel Webster instead of the clowns the people elect today.

Having elected Cruz, I'd say the people of Texas did okay.

Hey Ted. Why don’t you just change the name of the “Defense of Marriage Act” to the “Defense of Holy Matrimony Act?”

SCOTUS already changed words to fit the law. Not only has a precedent been sent, it was sent the same week by SCOTUS. So now, while it is fresh in everyone’s mind, strike.

This is your fight and your nomination. SCOTUS teed this up for you and this change of words will save religion from the throes of “State” sponsored terrorism against religion.

We have been praying that same prayer... and maybe, just maybe Ted CRUZ will lead us... I jumped on his bandwagon day one... but became skeptical when he came out in support of Obamatrade.. he backpeddled on that... so I’m watching cautiously at his next moves..
