Louis is like all the other politicians...all talk and no action.

And even Cruz admitted he campaigned for Roberts.

Since when does a Justice run for the office of the of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

You need to get more informed, than blabbering such nonsense out.

He was nominated by President Bush in 2005 after the death of Chief Justice William Renquist. So how can Ted Cruz have campaigned for him? Also the justices and that includes the Chief justice are not elected but nominated by the president

More than that he wrote a gushing editorial saying that he worked with him and could say enough good things about him. He did this in the National Review.

"even Cruz admitted he campaigned for Roberts."

You're simply falling prey to the Trump lies that Gohmert is exposing. president Bush nominated Roberts even though Cruz would have nominated someone else. Bush made the decision. After the nomination Cruz helped Bush get the nomination approved by the Senate. Trump is lying about this.

Campaigned? He supported Bush’s nominee.But Roberts was his second choice. In any case, who knew at the time that Roberts would turn in the direction he did? Remember: Benedict Arnold was highly regarded by George Washington.

*************************
Nope. Cruz was pushing someone else, but he did vote to confirm Roberts. ...He’s repeated that multiple times on the campaign trail after Trump accused him of being a yuuuuuge backer of Roberts.
