I’ve believed this for a very long time. He would make a great pick. I would also like to see a non-lawyer on SCOTUS.

NO WAY!!! He belongs where he is, and the GOP socialists would never confirm this stalwart Constitutional patriot.

CRUZ needs to clarify his position on IMMIGRATION & the WALL.

Trump produced a list of people he would pick from for SC appointments. He said all of the picks would come from that list. Ted Cruz is NOT on the list.

WTF is so hard to understand about that? Do people have rocks between their ears?

I respectfully disagree. Any person who has so very little respect for the United States Constitution as Senator Cruz has demonstrated should not be permitted to get anywhere near the judiciary, imho. He usually talks a very good talk, but doesn’t walk his act at all (as witness his presidential candidacy). (Flame suit is ON! But there it is, my opinion and its worth maybe as much as you paid for it....smile smile smile)

Cruz has proven that he can not be trusted to uphold the law. He is still lying about being a NBC.

Question: did Pres Trump say that the list was for every vacancy he would fill or was the promise only for the Scalia seat? I am asking because I cannot remember.

You can find the list in about two seconds on google.

I believe and trust that Senator Cruz would make a great Justice. I would rather see someone else leave than Kennedy though.

No, after the campaign and lying about Trump, and the dirty tricks. He’s not a person I want as a SCOTUS justice.

Here ya go....a nice Teddy Bear for our new illegal immigrant.

He's not a team player. And I think he'll butt heads with Roberts to prove he's better than Roberts.

No thanks Ted.

Hmmm. Not so much.

Cruz may well be a brilliant legal scholar, but there are plenty of equally intelligent legal minds out there without the baggage of the campaign.

I am not sure Cruz would be able to put that behind him and vote dispassionately.

It was for the Scalia vacancy.

The list is still likely the same, and if it grows I doubt new names would be any different than the ones on his first list.

Really?

So we are to believe after nearly 30 years of violent lawless open borders which left a landscape of hundreds of thousands of murdered, injured, maimed, robbed, looted Americans, Mr. Cruz still needs to clarify his position on this?

This is almost like we are drifting back into pre-Trump era bull s**t, business as usual, corrupt politics.

Ted will not be a SC justice. He soiled that nest.

It was for all of them, IIRC.
