I think Cruz is a good man and an honest, ethical man that knows and appreciates how great this country is supposed to be, much like Trump.
We have no ‘prefect” candidate and sadly, this means we will form our circular firing squad and shoot ourselves no matter who we run.
No candidate is perfect and that means no matter who the candidate is, we will have our share of purists that would rather walk away, to give the win to the demoncRATS (and total control for generations and generations over the Supreme Court--it's coming if we lose this next presidentail election), and that means we will have no seat at the table anywhere, and no standing in the courts, no voice. Even with Bush, we will have SOME influence, not much, but at least SOME influence.
Besides, for the purists, why walk away and make it easy on the demoncRATS? Rhetorical question, no answer wanted.
I grieve for this nation.
Yep, the Supreme Court and lower federal courts should be of concern to all of us in this next election.
The next president could have up to four Supreme Court vacancies in his/her first four year term. If he/she serves two full four year terms, would be possible that this next president will have appointed five out of nine Supreme Court justices. Father time is marching on, and the current group is aging.
And there are ongoing vacancies in the lower federal courts, due to retirements and resignations.
As of today, Obama has appointed about 1/3 of all the federal judges serving today. There are always vacancies to be filled in the lower courts.
I’m sure the vast majority of that 1/3 of judges are liberal radical ideologues.
