Imagine: President Cruz, Nov. 2024, now a lame duck President with only two months or so left in office. Ruth 'Buzzi' Ginsberg falls into a permanent nap.
54 year old Ted Cruz then nominates himself to replace her.
Ahh per chance to dream...
Expect to see justice Kennedy to step down from the bench once Obama is out of office.
Brilliant! Now, do not speak of this again for 16 months.
