I truly believe that President Trump is saving someone like Ted Cruz to replace Ginsburg or Sotomayor. Just to watch their heads explode. Did you know that there’s no requirement that the nominee be a lawyer?
Canuck Ted will never be nominated by Trump.
Barrett will replace the Notorious RBG
Ted Cruz would be a GREAT SC Justice and him being from Texas we can be assured a SOLID CONSERVATIVE replacement in the senate!!!
He's a good Senator. Peter's Principle comes to mind.
I know that Justice Scalia responded to that line of thought by saying that the glamorous cases we hear about like Roe v. Wade are one thing - and the day-to-day work of the Court is something else. And that something else is lawyer's work, pure and (not so) simple.
There’s no requirement for a SCOTUS member to be a lawyer. But Cruz is a lawyer, that definitely works.
But once Kavanaugh is confirmed, and once RBD is hauled off to the old folks’ home, I want Trump to nominate Sarah Palin. Maybe do it on April 1st. Just for fun. Let the heart attacks begin.
Got to play the woman card for RBG. Amy Barrett.
