And Cruz is a Religious Zealot that considers himself ‘Chosen”.

The hearings can go on for months.

Since 1789, 28 of 158 nominations have been rejected, withdrawn or not acted on by the Senate.

We need to hold unto the Senate and get the Whitehouse. Trump will appoint Cruz. I have no doubt.

BINGO! Add the blackmail files and Pansey Graham will be running to the podium to push L4B’s first nominee.

I started to realize there were too many names to list them all after I got started.

This is the very worst news imaginable.

No, Cruz strongly backed Mike Luttigg and one other judge was his second choice. He only backed Roberts when he became the nominee.

I do not trust Trump in regards to Supreme Court Appointments, He’s not a Constitutionalist. Not.one.bit. It must be CRUZ 2016. Now more than ever. It is possible to reject all nominations until next year. WE MUST DO THIS!!!

I will not back someone with Cruz’s lack of character to make the choice, or be the choice.

In 1999, Cruz advised Bush on Proposition 187 in California.

He advised talking it down.

This was a slap in the face of State’s Rights, namely the ability of California to address it’s illegal alien problem.

Cruz further advised Bush to use “for the children” defense against implementing strong anti illegal immigrant policies

Cruz thought it was okay to use deceptive misleading and threatening mailers to sway voters

Cruz thought it was okay to lie about Carson dropping out to steal his support away

So no, I do not support Cruz. He lied about H1-Bs being a poison pill. He now lies about Trump tossing a woman out of the home she owned when she died.

He is not fit to be a justice on the SCOTUS.

“I don't want Cruz anywhere near the SCOTUS.”

Neither do I.

I don't know why everyone is hysterical over SCROTUS. We know with TRUMP, we have a good chance of him using the bully pulpit of the executive branch to have most of these liberal black-robed SCUMBAGS IMPEACHED.

It's amazing how so many so called conservatives are cowed by the narrative put out by the marxists in the press.

GO TRUMP OR GO HOME!!!!

Should people believe the autopsy when the results come out?

Why not? People die at that age and younger every day.........In fact, my dad died at 76 and there was no tinfoil alert when he died........Sheesh!

It is sad...but, people die at unexpected moments. Scalia was a Patriot and a great man, certainly influenced the high court...may he RIP...
