“Did not Cruz help get Roberts as Chief Justice?”
Why don’t you post a list of every conservative who opposed Roberts, just to show how Cruz bucked the conservative tide of opposition. Throw in all the editorials by conservatives who wanted Roberts vetoed.
Oh wait, there really aren’t any, you are just reading someone’s talking points like a good little sheep.
I did think he would be a good justice at the time. I do not deny that. I thought what I thought at the time because I trusted what people who knew the guy, like Ted Cruz, were saying about him. I am simply pointing out that it is not a given that Cruz will pick great SCOTUS nominees as he has already been wrong once. It is also not a given that Trump would do worse.
