Give it up!!! Lyn’ Ted ain’t getting anywhere near the Supreme Court, except maybe to defend his US citizenship. What a loser. People need to seriously give it up, no way Lyn’ Ted ever recovers his lost reputation. Please stop embarrassing yourselves thinking otherwise or that somehow he might slip in somewhere.
America has many capable qualified people. We don’t need to keep going back to Cruz, Romney, clintons (who next? Their dog??) , bushes, Obama, 0r any other failed political hacks.
Just how much money is Cruz throwing around now? To suggest that he be put on the Supreme Court so things would go easier in the Senate, because the Mercer’s like him, because he’s a constitutional conservative.
Why would anyone who supports Trump want him to forget about his promise to put one of the names on his list on the Court?
Why would anyone who supports Trump want him to put someone on the Court who has total disregard for the Constitution as written?
Why would anyone who supports Trump want him to have to deal with a person who lied about him and undermined him at every turn, who allied himself with the Bushes and the Clintons, and cost Trump several states?
Why would anyone who supports Trump want someone on the Court who lied to the people of Texas, who lied to the people of the United States, who has no honor and cannot be trusted, on the Supreme Court?
Vindictive Cruz would likely rule that persons named Donald cannot be President.
Not confirmable.
Cruz would be great as a SC justice as far as I am concerned. However he has enemies all over the place. Not sure the RINOs in Congress would go along. I just don’t see Trump spending political capital on Cruz.
There is another reason, for both Sessions and Cruz. They come from Republican states, so Republicans would be chosen to replace them.
Importantly, the balance of the senate is so important right now, that President Trump may consider nominating a *Democrat* senator, from a Republican state, for a lesser cabinet post, so that he will be replaced by a Republican.
Yet one more reason to nominate Cruz is that the Democrats would throw everything they’ve got against him. And if he was still confirmed, maybe by a nuclear option simple majority vote, it would break the Democrats ability to resist.
Because there will be many, many more judges and even justices to confirm in the future.
He would make a good justice.
I don’t think justices once in the judicial branch can run for the executive branch.
Cruz has the sort of personality that would work ok with only 8 others pissed at him
Cruz may eventually get the nod but I don’t think it will be this first nominee to the SCOTUS; they have a list of 21 candidates, 2 at the top who are most likely to be picked.
I saw some article on an Indian (as in ancestry from India) guy, I guess he’s a solid conservative. So, there are a number of possibilities.
Not this time, Cruz won’t be moving to the front of the line. Maybe next time.
Have reviewed the list DT issued and Cruz doesn't seem to be on it...
One reason not: loss of the Senate to the Democrats
I think it will be Bill Pryor.
