Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday predicted that there will be another Supreme Court vacancy “this summer,” on top of the current opening on the high court left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
“This summer, I think we’ll have another Supreme Court vacancy,” he told attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference, prompting applause and then some murmurs from the crowd.
Supreme Court justices receive lifetime appointments, and their tenure only ends when they retire or die.
He said the left would go even crazier at that point than they are now as the U.S. Senate weighs President Trump’s nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to replace Justice Scalia.
“Because the next vacancy is where we have the ability to get back and restore basic constitutional protections,” he said.

Man this guy will do anything to keep his name in the papers...wow..
He wasn’t correct, he was activist.
Omg u r hilarious...notorious rbg...I’m dyin over here!!!
Is she planning a trip to Cibolo Creek Ranch in Shafter, Texas? I heard the pillows there are to die for.
Supreme Court insiders claim Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been wanting to retire for several years (she is in poor health) but decided to hold out until Hillary was elected because she wanted her replacement chosen by a women and another Clinton (Bill appointed RBG). Obviously that ploy didn’t work out so well. Personally I think now there is ZERO chance she will willingly retire, she will fill the seat until she drops dead (and maybe even then the left will try to prop her up “Weekend at Bernie’s” style). The most likely retires would be Kennedy and Thomas. Kennedy is getting up and years and rumors persist that Thomas has entertained thoughts of retiring.
Could Rafe The Elder pull another JFK on her after 54 years?
You know, there are at least two ways to basically fake a heart attack / off someone with little evidence.
Now if the body was cremated, that evidence is basically gone .... oops.
Wish his family hadn’t agreed to that.
Sure, it could be coincidence, that a leading conservative on the Supreme Court drops dead (he wasn’t young and healthy admittedly) in the last year of Obama’s pResidency. It’s certainly possible.
It was certainly possible, yes, that the only woman left alive in the Western world that knew the details of Obama’s upbringing dropped dead less than 48 hours before the 2008 election. After all, she wasn’t young and healthy. It’s certainly possible it was coincidence.
Oh, and her body was cremated too.
He has:
Precognition
Precognition (from the Latin præ-, “before” and cognitio, “acquiring knowledge”), also called future sight, and second sight, is an alleged psychic ability to see events in the future. As with other forms of extrasensory perception, there is no evidence that precognition is a real ability possessed by anyone..
Who knew?
True but Obamacare is blatantly unconstitutional. It was his sworn duty to declare it so. He is a traitor to the US citizens and our Constitution.
I’m not buying Cruz is the enemy. He has actually done a lot of good and was one of the very few that stood up to the African Muslim. His conservative voting record is plus 97% while many of our real enemies have records in the 5-25% range. I grant there are a handful of republicans like McCain, Snow, and Mulkaskey that are nothing but demrats that run as republicans.
Thank you NeoLiberalNot.
This post from a few minutes ago (by me), more or less lays it out there. It explains why I can’t guy what he’s selling now. I don’t trust this guy any further than I can drop kick him.
I noticed that he was on Levin’s show today. Big surprise, the NeverTrumpers hang together.
He was saying great things about the 4th Circuit Court of appeals recent ruling, trashing them as they should be.
You know, I could jump up and down about that. If it weren’t for last year I could give him kudos.
Hillary Clinton would have literally destroyed our gun rights. Ted... abject silence then.
I’m sorry, but I’m not buying his antics.
It’s nearly impossible to detail how many issues dear to us would have been obliterated by four years of Hillary Clinton as president.
How do you think the SCOTUS would have supported us with 2-4 Hillary Clinton picks over the next four years?
Gun rights?
So when Ted makes good comments now, I have to ask myself, didn’t he realize last year that the worst thing that could happen on any subject dear to us would be a Hillary Clinton presidency?
Ah, no...
Ted now, is arguing against Ted then.
Issues are important now, but weren’t last year.
The payoff.
What is your soul worth, judge?
They must have had something on him.
And/or he didn’t want to accidentally die of a heart attack like Scalia.
Thanks for the info. Does seem completely feasible.
Why didn't he support Trump when it counted?
It counts now.
I invite you to live in the present.
when is Gorsuch going to be voted on??? COME ON CONGRESS!!!!!
