If we want to go back in time, it works both ways. Cruz hooked up Bush with John Roberts for the 1999/2000 recount and the rest is history. Roberts was a good friend of Cruz. So if anyone wants to talk about what kind of judges Cruz would elect, look no further than Cruz’s good friend John Roberts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#Bush_administration

“Cruz’s initial assignment was to assemble a legal team. His first call was to his former mentor Carvin, who wound up representing Bush before the Florida Supreme Court. Cruz’s second call was to a Washington lawyer named John Roberts. “John had been a friend and a Rehnquist clerk-I’ve known John a long time,” Cruz said.”

Thanks a lot Ted.

So that’s how we got Obamacare.

Mr. “I’m too smart for my own britches” gave us Roberts.

Maybe he should have argued one less case involving the court.

Yikes.

You would rather have someone like Trump's left-wing sister on the Supreme Court?
