Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday touted his Republican colleague Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) as the "best choice" to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement announcement.
"I think the single best choice President Trump could make to fill this vacancy is Sen. Mike Lee," Cruz said on Fox News shortly after Kennedy's announcement. "I think he would be extraordinary."

Just hope his Senate seat wouldn't be filled by another Romney-type.
Mike Lee is a true constitutionalist/originalist and would make an absolutely unwavering conservative justice.
Do your homework on the man and you might think twice about making silly knee jerk comments that have no basis in fact.
BTW, Lee (as well as Cruz) have not always been blindly supportive of Donald Trump but they certainly cannot accurately be construed as “never Trumper’s”.
Great guy? Never trumper mormon cult member
Convict: “If I wasn’t wearing these cuffs I’d strangle you!”
George Costanza: “But you aaaare wearing them! You know, I think I’ll go for a walk in the park tomorrow. Supposed to be a beeeaaaauuutiful day! Have a nice life. Sentence - that is!”
I submit for nomination to supreme court - James Woods.
Two nevertrumpers in that pic, that seem to have reversed course lately?
Neither can be trusted...
You obviously forgot the cruz speech at the convention calling trump a psychopath.
Lee has zero chance. Zero.
Unbelievable. Yeah because Trump said something that vaguely reminded me of something that didn’t happen to a few hundred people in a remote part of the country nearly 200 years ago, it’s OK to permanently sacrifice the Supreme Court and thus the constitutional republic. That guy should never be allowed within a country mile of a Supreme Court seat.
[ Cruz has been great in the senate- He was not presidential material... But hes been helpful to Trump since the election.
He is far from a dirtbag ]
Lyin’ Ted -> [ MAGA ] -> LION TED!!!
Sorry Raphael, not even a Lee on the Supremes will change the original intent of ‘natural born’ US citizen.
Exactly.
NEVER trust a NeverTrumper. Never.
Every damn one of them is a snake who is certain to turn on you.
It's a character trait, it's who they are.
The chance of trump appointing a dirtbag Never Trumper who voted for mcmullin is ZERO.
Zero.
Im not HTML savvy but check his YouTube video of August 25, 2017, with Chuck Todd saying Trump needed to step down. Lets not also forget his abysmal failure on Benghazi and didnt that have a little something to do with a job his wife held? Id never trust him.
Keep Senator Mike Lee in the U.S. Senate, and pick Amy Barrette for SCJOTUS, instead!
Don’t think so.
Scott Walker has said worse about Trump but I see them both arm in arm 5 minutes ago on stage.
Quit using silly anecdotal examples to make specious assertions. Trump has won a lot of former adversaries over by being more conservative than many ever thought possible.
Save your bile for the George Will, David Frum, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg etc of the bonafide “never Trumper’s.
NO. You recommended Roberts and we all know how that worked out, Lying Ted.
Ummmm...no.
I hate to break it to you but there are plenty of real constitutional conservatives that are not trump fans. Do you want a conservative or a trump fan on the bench?
The Mormon Connection.
Harry Reid runs it, Mittens does what he is told as does Lee.
Lee is a follower, not a leader.
