“And that’s assuming that Cruz did something wrong, which I don’t believe anyways. We were all fooled by Roberts, not just Cruz.”
So what will be your excuse when some other Cruz picks act just like him? Say that he was “tricked” too? That isnt an excuse.
And this idea that “everyone” was fooled is a complete myth. I even remember Ann Coulter specifically saying that no one knows anything about this guy when he was nominated, and many of the comments on FR was about how he needed to be confirmed because how cute his kids were more than anyone really caring about his record.
I don't know if you've been noticing, but this business of Republican appointees flipping over to become Liberal Democrats has been going on for a very long time. Eisenhower said that the appointment of Earl Warren was the biggest mistake he ever made.
Reagan appointed Kennedy and O'Connor, both of whom went pretty Liberal.
The problem is that the law colleges are infected with Liberal teachers and Liberal ideas, and the entire pool of legal candidates is polluted with this stuff.
That ad the social and media environment of Washington D.C. is horribly liberal, and it suffuses everyone who goes up there. Time and time again i've seen staunch conservatives get elected and then go to Washington D.C. all to become infected with the same disease.
