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.
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.
Quick...stat...
Massive need for CDS vaccine....
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.
JMO.
If Trump wants to put his name on the list, ok. It’s his call, I don’t have the data to compare Cruz vs the other highly qualified candidates Trump has in mind and wouldn’t give him one iota of preference because of his political activities. Justices are not supposed to be political, so his experience running for the Senate and President is no mre relevant than experience running a backhoe.
Senator Ted Cruz is a Constitutional Scholar who started a run for President of the United States while he was a Citizen of Canada from a period in time when Canada did not have dual citizenship, and his birth, as an American born abroad, was not registered with the American Consulate in Calgary, Alberta.
His mother knew this was registration was required because she had done it for a previous birth while she was in England. Canadian health care at the time of his birth was only provided to Canadian citizens, and there are several other evidences that both she and her husband became Canadian citizens. So when she reentered the USA with little Teddy and said she was still an American Citizen, she committed immigration fraud, and that makes Senator Ted Cruz a “dreamer”.
I addition, we have reported current opposition to the border wall in Texas, after leading people to believe that he supported it. We have his ties to Goldman Sacks, and his reported use of his Senatorial position to get business for his wife at GS.
There is really no need to explore his connections to the Bush Clay Shaw operation of the Deep State.
So I think President Trump should stick with his original list of 21, now 20, potential candidates for the Supreme Court.
Whoever is chosen to be Trump’s second pick will have to go through a rectal exam of monumental proportions, way worse than Bork received.
NO WAY!
Not qualified
Not a constitutionalist, since he thinks the president can be born in CANADA.
#NeverTrumper who embarrassed Trump to his face at the convention.
Trump knows that when he brought him in that he was a snake.

I don’t know. Those tea leaves about Kennedy seem pretty hard to read /sarc/ Under the circumstances we’ll cheerfully have back Mr. Reagan’s third choice for the spot Bork should have had.
I think this will happen, this way he avoids running for reelection as well.
Kennedy “...hasn’t interviewed prospective clerks for the next session.” Interesting. Had not read that before. Just another reason why I’ve felt for sometime now that Kennedy would step down before Buzzi Ginsburg.
