GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), following the tragic death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, pledged to honor his name by asking his followers to help prevent Barack Obama from nominating his replacement to the nation’s highest court.

The questions we need to ask is, “What would the Rats do in a similar situation?” That’s what we should do.

[Kenny]

Oh great, another bullhorn issue for Elmer Gantry. He knows this will never happen like he knows all his staged issues won’t happen.

McConnell just came out and said there will be an appointment before the next President . Maybe Cruz could actually work within the Senate to stop this instead of making everything a campaign speech.

[Luircin]

Quite possibly they realized that if they tried to confirm an Obama appointment, they’d be politically tarred and feathered.

Watch out for them to try to sneak it in anyways, though.

[Kenny]

Sorry, McConnell said will be filled by next President. Hope that’s right.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Isn’t the court stacked 5-3 against us now, essentially?

Well, let’s see:

Conservatives:

Thomas
Alito
Roberts, sometimes

Squishy middle :

Kennedy

Full blown liberals:

Breyer
Sotomayor
Kagan
Ginsburg

All of you, including me, say what you want, but Cruz is a conservative who thinks the way the Constitutionalist Judge Scalia thought.

I'll back Trump until.....

So who cares about Rush? I’m talking about Cruz and I remember exactly what happened and why he did it.

Rush is an example of the narrative at the time. You cannot provide for me any quotes-- other than the one in December-- where Cruz does anything other than support legalization of illegal aliens. If you have some quote, some press release, where Cruz or any of the GOP repudiates legalization even after the border is secured, you should provide it if what you claim is true.

And it exposed all the liars in congress and killed the bill.

No one was lying other than-- supposedly-- Ted Cruz who declared he supported legalization. Everyone knew what the Democrats wanted. It was in the bill and they talked about it all the time. And the bill passed the Senate. It was never killed.

I wasn’t quite sure where to score Roberts....

Thanks.

“(T)hat EPA ruling came down when it did, and right after it, Scalia died.”

0bama’s illegal alien immigration case is coming up, too.

[milagro]

Wow!
That IS surprising!
Hope he means it!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Cruz is absolutely correct. The only problem being degenerate Republican leadership. "In declining states the leadership intuitively chooses the most harmful course of action."- F. Nietzsche

> The Republican b*stards in Congress will orgasm over the negro community organizers selection as Scalia's replacement.

[Uri’el-2012]

.there will be a nomination or 2 or 3.

Valerie will have Ginsberg and Stevens to stand down.

Then she will appoint 3 Sharia lawyers.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump is going to say the same thing and we all know it. No GOP candidate is going to endorse nominating a new justice til after the election.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“McConnell just came out and said there will be an appointment before the next “

No he did not.

[chris37]

A better way to honor him would be to disband the court entirely and forever.

[redreno]

Has any “lame duck” president ever filled a vacancy on the SCOTUS,during the last year?

[Kenny]

Already corrected and apologized for that misstatement.

[humblegunner]

This it will be very important to vote in a GOP person come this November.

Do you even look at your word salad before posting?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well who trusts Mitch McConnell? Trust but verify. We need to get very aggressive in contacting all senators with a “don’t even think about it” message.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Nightmare material, that. :-(
