Cruz: Gorsuch A Principled Constitutionalist, and a ‘Home Run’
breitbart.com ^ | 31 Jan 2017

Posted on 02/01/2017 7:01:57 AM PST by Helicondelta

During an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) stated that the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court is a “home run.”

Cruz said, “During the campaign, he promised the American people that he would nominate a principled constitutionalist to replace Justice Scalia, and tonight President Trump honored that commitment. … I think Judge Gorsuch is a home run. He has a decade of proven experience on the court of appeals of being faithful to the Constitution, following the law, protecting the Bill of Rights and our fundamental liberties, and I think that record will yield a swift confirmation in the United States Senate.”

He added, “Democrats are engaged right now in unprecedented partisan obstruction, but I hope on the Supreme Court they will not engage in that practice. … Democrats will not succeed in filibustering Judge Gorsuch. They may try, but they will not succeed.”

Good grief, grow up! If you want to complain about someone, start whining about the worthless POS rePukes that don’t support Trump, not the ones that are.

It sure is. And Thank GOD in heaven We the American people went Trump and not Cruz ...or we’d surely have been looking at a far different outcome.

But, Thanks, Senator Cruz - we couldn’t agree more.

Not even 24 hours and the Democrats are attacking Niel Gorsuch’s mother.

Who do you think will give Trump more support in the Senate: Ted Cruz or Bitch McConnell?

The question answers itself ... yet some folks continue to bitch and whine about Cruz.

I like the term “principled” instead of “strict”

From your article:

A New York Times editorial in 1983 said she had taken one of the most effective government agencies and left it “reeking of cynicism, mismanagement and decay.”

The New York Times was puking up fake news back in the 1980s ...

#NeverTrumpers need to keep their praise for Gorsuch to themselves

Aside from the fact that Cruz is not a “never Trumper”, what possible difference could it make?

How long before the Anita Hill’s begin coming out of the woodwork, as stipulated in the left’s playbook?

Give them time, they have to find and hire people to make claims about how Gorsuch harrassed, suppressed, oppressed, attacked, etc... them at some point in the past and construct semi-plausible reasons it was not brought up before.

I wouldn’t call it bitter. I’d call it well-earned cynicism. Somebody’s been waving a baton and attempting to jump in front of the Trump parade since he lost. Did the man even say the name President Trump? I don’t believe he did. I don’t believe he can.
