That’s ok. I agree. I was Trump day one. I fought the Cruzers— hard!! But this is the Scalia Seat. It is a special place on that Court. No conservative ever had more Courage and intellectual ability than Cruz. He will never betray a conservative constitutional principal for 35 years!!!

The age thing was my first concern. 62 and 64 is just too old. We need conservative Justices who will be on the court for 20/30 years.

Tho, in saying hat, I am always reminded of the SC Senate race years ago where Strom Thurmond’s opponent harped on Thurmond’s age only to die at age 48, while Thurmond lived a full 100 years of which he served 48 in the Senate. So ya never know!

Cruz SHAT on and then SHREDDED the Constitution, for his own ambition; for crying out loud!

He has a LOUSY "legal mind", has NO courage at all, and if you really believe that BOVINE EXCREMENT, that there's nobody better for Scalia's seat...your just out of your mind!

WAKE UP, LOOK AT REALITY, AND STOP WITH THIS UTTERLY STUPID, PUERILE, UNEDUCATED, PROPAGANDIST, UNTRUE CRAP!

Thank you for your response Wendle. Of the seven cases Ted plead before the SCOTUS, he won two outright.

Do you know what bothers me about his ability to reason wisely?

He blamed the campaign rally violence on Trump, rather than the violent protesters, and the people who were paying the protesters.

We later found out that the Clinton team put people at those sites to instigate violence. Soros was paying protesters too.

The excuse was, that Trump incited violence at his rallies. That simply wasn’t true at all. He urged his people in almost all instances to be gentle with the protesters inside, only picking on one guy because he became combative with people and security.

So I have very little confidence in Ted’s judgement.

Think about how non-violent our people were in response to violence.

If anyone was inciting, it was the Clinton/Soros camp.

This didn’t occur to Ted.

So no, I don’t want him anywhere near making decisions that will rule our nation for decades.

If he stayed true to form, he’d back something against Conservatives on general principles. That’s what he did there.

No way you can know that. Scalia made a pretty dumb decision when he took incitement to riot and renamed it free speech. (Flag burning)

Put Pam Bondi in there. She would be on the court for 40 or more years!

The next 40 years? You expect Roberts to be there until the ripe old age of 101?

LOL

I knew Ted was playing fast and loose after reading his memos to Bush in 1999, where he helped Bush come up with talking points to avoid deportation of illegals.

Another issue was his claim that he only proposed the increase to 500% of the current H1-B visas as an arguing point. Two years and more down the road, he was still pushing it. He had to abandon that in the middle of the campaign.

He was lying.

Ted wasn’t who he said he was.

He also lied about his strength in the South, claiming the Bible belt was in his hip pocket. He didn’t get one of those states.

So Ted simply wasn’t the Ted his supporters thought he was.

Then on the issue of judgement, I’ve got two more words for folks.

Glenn Beck.

WOW...that truly covers it all! :-)

And the whole Beck tied at the hip with Teddykins, not to mention Teddy's insane father, and the VERY peculiar, really screwed family, matters a LOT to me!

It is strange isn’t it.

And folks thought Mitten’s beliefs were strange.
