Ted understands how this game needs to be played. He’s been there, he’s done that.
Cruz 2016.
Probably the most important things we would be selecting when we vote for a President.
Our nation is in peril. Our relatively short (just over 200 year) experiment in representative democracy is in peril.
Didn’t Trump say he would nominate Judge Judy ??
:)
I’m a Cruz fan. But, I have a problem with him supporting John Roberts as fervently as he did and then saying nothing (that I’ve heard) about him stepping outside of the law to write that horrendous decision about Obamacare being a tax when they argued it wasn’t a tax.
Quick, name five people who are Conservatives with a history of conservative rulings.
Okay, four.
How about three?
Two?
One, surely there is one judge who is a Conservative with a history of conservative rulings.
From Ted Cruz is bashing John Roberts after years of praising him...
According to a 2005 Sun-Sentinel report, Cruz once praised Roberts as "one of the best constitutional minds in the country."
Cruz reportedly made that comment while explaining why, as a domestic policy adviser for George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, he brought Roberts to Florida to assist with his team's legal battle over the controversial post-election recount.
And as the Texas Tribune reported three years ago, when Bush nominated Roberts to the Supreme Court in 2005, Cruz "was an outspoken advocate for his confirmation, calling him 'brilliant' and a 'lawyer's lawyer.'"
"As an individual, John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative, as is the president who appointed him," Cruz wrote at the time in the National Review. "But, as a jurist, Judge Roberts's approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent."
Cruz helped convince Bush to appoint who he now calls a "bad pick." Can you believe this guy? I can't.

You have to elected President to pick SCTUS justices. Cruz can advise Trump.
Note to Trump supporters: This is one of the main reasons Cruz is my top choice, and Trump is my #2.
Ted Cruz was the author on a letter in support of placing Roberts on the Supreme Court. What gives with Ted?

You just can't believe a word that comes out of Ted Cruzs' mouth
John Roberts should be a quick confirm. By Ted Cruz
I've always "heard" that a nominee can't be subject to a litmus test or asked how they'd vote on a particular issue.
Is that tradition or law?
Were I POTUS I'd sure as heck want to ask them how they'd vote on things. Doesn't mean they'd do it but it'd be at least one more way to get inside their head.
What’s the likelihood old justices step down during Obama’s admin given a Cruz nomination vs a trump nomination?
Not O'Connor or Souter? Really? Scalia, Thomas, and Alito are the only decent Republican picks.
“This is Ted Cruz’s Plan For the Supreme Court ... Liberals won’t like it.”
BTTT
Roberts should be impeached.
I hope Cruz--or whoever is President--will appoint Ann Coulter and Mark Levin.
Everything contingent on a senate that votes approval ... otherwise ... you can nominate all you want
