While I think Cruz would make a fine justice, the question then becomes equally pressing: who will be the *third* justice?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is close to pegging out soon. She has had both colon and pancreatic (caught early) cancer, iron deficiency, and has had a stent placed in her right coronary artery.
All true. And what attracted me to originally. support him. But he was ineligible, too, and still ran. Hypocritical. ( and his attacks on Mr Trump even AFTER DJT nailed down the. nomination —— not good). I will trust president Trump to select good honest nominees.
Cruz haters will never let it happen
“Felix Frankfurter, who was born in Vienna, Austria, was the most famous”
Thanks for the info. I never realized that Frankfurter was a Wiener.
Cruz haters are just like Trump haters.
Would rather eat a turd than admit they were wrong.
It will be Pryor. And watching Schumer go into convulsions will be both alarming and hilarious. :)
>>way worse than Bork received.
***********************************
I will never forgive my then senator, Arlan Specter the Defector, who borked Bork.
What a powerfully strong Supreme Court Justice Judge Bork would have been....a real advocate for strict construction of the Constitution....a real Scalia-type judge.
That Specter burns in hell is comforting, but no consolation for the destruction Specter’s treason wrought upon our nation. Burn in h@ll, Arlan.
The point you made however was about his Constitutional knowledge and your lack of faith that he would adhere to its principles - not that you disagreed with his electability based on his citizenship origins. Therefore, I was confused how you could associate one with the other.

That looks like a New York “Bless Your Heart” smile
PS I was a big Cruz supporter back in the day, now not so much
Cruz was my guy 100% until I watched Trump come down the escalator and piss off everybody.
Then after Iowa, I was fully committed to Trump.
Instincts validated.
Did you require this of Neil Gorsuch? Any other potential Justice? Did you ever require this of any justice nominee?
Lot of misinformation and lack of wisdom in your post. You win the double.
I just wish he'd go away. I once donated money to his campaign and have regretted it ever since.
What an awful character in our nation's long running political soap opera.
I can only hope viewers will not renew or renegotiate his contract whenever it comes up again.
If CRUZ is against the wall, his name doesn’t need to be in the SUPREME COURT short list.
Would love to be able to agree with you: “Sen Cruz, an excellent choice”. However at this time after what has been learned about the man, he is simply not trusted. When push comes to shove, he would ignore our Constitution and legislate from the bench just as any other judge searching for a buyer. Knowing the Constitution, he ignored the words written and attempted to run for President. How does this make him a worthy choice?

Eh, that would be a Vienna sausage. :-)

Ever notice how much Meryl Streep resembles Hillary Clinton in that movie?
I’m sure the lib Streep would deny it. It was absolutely Hillary Clinton.
ScoC maybe
This list is definitive and I will choose only from it in picking future Justices of the United States Supreme Court. I would like to thank the Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation and the many other individuals who helped in composing this list of twenty-one highly respected people who are the kind of scholars that we need to preserve the very core of our country, and make it greater than ever before.
