Sen. Mike Lee hasn't endorsed in the presidential contest, but he appeared Thursday in South Carolina with both of his Senate Republican colleagues seeking the White House - Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
And Cruz, who hasn't tipped his hand about whom heâd like to see on the Supreme Court, said at an event at a barbecue joint in Easley that, "I think Mike would look pretty good in a robe."
While appointing someone like Lee to the Supreme Court would be unusual in recent history, he has the kind of track record that Cruz has long talked about. Leeâs father Rex served as solicitor general under President Ronald Reagan, and the senator clerked on the Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit for current Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito.
Cruz was talking about the Supreme Court long before it became a campaign issue after the unexpected death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. At least as far back as early fall, Cruz spoke regularly about the choice that President George H.W. Bush had a choice between submitting the name of the conservative Judge Edith Jones and his eventual choice, the more moderate David Souter, for a Supreme Court vacancy. Cruz has also spoken out against the selection of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., particularly his conditioned support for the Affordable Care Act.

“I think Mike would look pretty good in a robe.”
And I think Dr Kevin Gutzman would look better. He could maybe educate the rest on that court what the constitution means.
Harry Reid was Mike’s Mormon home teacher.
Amazing world it is...
Well, if you want to post articles from that left-wing site, here’s their latest (& I’m sure you can find many similar ones there):

Then God help us all...You have fallen for a bumper sticker slogan hook line and sinker. Trump will do nothing you know why? Because the moneyed class will make sure he does nothing. Trump is a Carnival Barker nothing more...you have an opportunity to elect a true conservative constitutionalist that comes once in a generation, perhaps never again but hey “We can make America Great Again” snaps of 4th grade rah rah lets get them mindset. like I said God help us all!!
No.
Sessions and Lee like both Cruz and Trump. All the other senators are DC cartel and not people one would want to get endorsed by.
I think Cruz should be dropping hints about possible VP picks, instead of supreme court nominations. It would certainly dampen the enthusiasm of progs regarding lawsuits alleging Ted’s lack of eligibility if they knew that a successful challenge would only promote a Jim DeMint, Mike Lee, Bobby Jindahl, Scott Walker, etc. to the presidency.
DeMint would have been an excellent name to float during the South Carolina campaign.
Just got back for voting for Trump. Spent two hours at the polling place campaigning for him out front. Large turnout with about one third or more of the voters giving me a thumbs up while I was holding the Trump sign. Several people asked to have their picture taken with me and the signs. At least on HH, Trump is doing well based on my anecdotal information.
Good way to start off the Trump administration with the majority leader in your pocket. However, I expect the Dems to retake the Senate in 2017.
Would be an excellent pick - but to give the Canadian anchor baby [and citizen up until 2014] would be akin to kissing a blind pig because he found a truffle. And what message, exactly, did the Canadian anchor baby think he was sending by having selfies taken while attending Justice Scalia’s funeral today? In the church, no less. Hey Rafael Edward Cruz, you liar, you are a zoned out fricking narcissist.
