RE: Why do you think he got Roberts planted on the supremes?
OK, I’ll have defend Cruz here even when I detested Robert’s decision on Obamacare ( two of them ).
If you reviewed the past posts and threads regarding Roberts here in FR when he was first nominated, most posts were POSITIVE about him many optimistic that he would be someone who would at least be like William Rehnquist.
Nobody but nobody expected him to become a legislator off the bench. In fact, based on the questions he asked during the oral arguments on the healthcare mandate, a lot were optimistic that he would make his decision based on what the law was written.
You cannot read people’s minds in advance. All you can do is base your decision on a person’s past record and his responses to questions put before him during the confirmation hearings.
So, to say that Cruz “planted” Roberts in the courts implies that he had some special insight into how Roberts would rule on cases before hand.
That is beyond his capability as a human being.
Heck, even Ronald Reagan did not exactly put an originalist in the SCOTUS. He nominated a less than sterling Sandra Day O’Connor.
It does NOT take a supreme to ‘decide’ the founders intent of a ‘natural born’ US citizen. Cruz knows that he is NOT nor will ever be a ‘natural born’ US citizen... BUT Cruz thinks he is just as entitled as his former class mate OBAMA of HARVARD law school. Cruz is an imposter, a liar, and he claims ‘conservative’ as a means of deception.
Someone put Roberts on the court because he already was or could soon be blackmailed. His children were illegally adopted. Achilles, heel, etc.
