Also the Dems are hoping beyond hope that the next appointment will be after the next election and they will win back the senate then.... No one has the hear to tell them, reality is R’s will likely gain seats based on geography alone... but even more so as they and their paid agitators and SJW snowflakes keep acting like they are.
Trump won by bringing in the disengaged who were sick of the crap... the more they behave like they are, even more of the disengaged are going to show up and lay the smack down on them in 18.
Argumentative!
I don’t read these things.
I will read this one though.
I live in my own world.
Anybody can die or become debilitated at any age.
I hate to break this to you, but the odds of Cruz being on the Supreme Court are about the same as his odds were for winning the republican nomination.
He’s angered and pissed off too many people on both sides of the aisle to get a confirmation vote out of the Senate, and Trump sure as hell isn’t going to spend political capital that could be better spent elsewhere on his agenda on trying to force him through.
Cruz really destroyed himself with his actions this campaign season, instead of accepting that it just wasn’t his time, he repeatedly acted in ways that alienated him from many people who at one time had or would have supported him. Cruz needs to just lay low for a good while, and let the public forget about it before he tries for greater things... in 2024, who knows... public may have forgiven and forgotten... but just like there was no calculus for him to win the nomination once Trump was in the fray, there is really no calculus that puts him on the Supreme Court.
Now, whether or not he would make a good Jurist is another conversation, but the odds of him being appointed to the supreme court by Trump are virtually nil.
Yes they can, but odds are, the older you are, the more likely you are going to be debilitated or die.. that’s just reality.
Kagans in her 50s and Sotomayor is in her early 60s.. odds are good both will be on the court for 20+ years.
Doesn’t one or the other suffer from Type 1 diabetes?
Your guy lost. Get over it. Cruz will never be president and will NEVER sit on the supreme court.
Yes, Sotomayor, who is by far the least qualified Jurist to sit on the court in my lifetime....
Average type 1 is about 12 years less lifespan, but A Supreme Court Justice is not your average. But average life expectancy for a woman is about 81 in the US. So average says she’s only going to hit 69. However, averages, are averages, not individual cases... a Supreme Court Justice is going to be getting the best care possible, so I highly doubt she’ll be gone in 7 years. She may not make it to 20, but she’ll be sitting there for a long time to come yet.
Bubble, you mean. LOL
You don't understand the mind of the left if you think any of their black-robed criminals will "resign" from the Supreme Court while Trump is in command. Ginsberg could keel over and croak and the democrats would put her rotting, fetid corpse on a respirator and scream she's still alive.
It’s a small world...
Population of 1. :-)
I think over time, he can rehabilitate himself.
Let’s not forget that this community openly supported him for POTUS, this despite my feelings he was not qualified under the simple terms of the Constitutional requirements but, he is qualified to be anything else in America.(you brought up his citizenship, which I agree with and the same goes for Rubio)
Let’s remember, he was one of the most successful AG’s to argue before the Supreme Court on issue important to us and no less than Alan Dershowitz believes he is one of the most brilliant minds, in regards to “the law” says he is brilliant mind.
In Texas he successfully defended. in the Supreme Court of the United States:
• U.S. sovereignty against the UN and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
• The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
• The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
• The constitutionality of the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance;
• The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
• The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
From 2004-09, he taught U.S. Supreme Court Litigation as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law.
That’s what? 4 more years than another “so called Constitutional Professor”, who was actually never a professor.
Ted would be a great SCJ.
Population me.
It’s my island...
I agree.
She is qualified under “the rules” but, as for work product in this field, it is not even close....
She is a wise Latina indeed...
yer an age-ist..../S LOL
Which is all of a 1/10th of an acre in size? ;^)
This SCJ does swing the court, at this time, as current cases coming through the system are vital to our interests and intention.
As for overwhelmingly tilting the court that does come in the next two SCJ and we are going to win that fight, particularly Trump gains a second term, as we will have unassailable majorities in the House, Senate, as well, local/state representation.
We gain more seats in 2018 and the census gives us greater leverage.
We have to keep on keeping on at local races to keep our state representative majorities
Your giving me far too much.
That’s practically a kingdom...
