What’s even funnier is that you think Ted Cruz was in the Senate when Roberts was confirmed as Chief Justice. I take it you were a strong supporter of David DewCrist, that paragon of Conservatism, when he ran for the Senate in 2012 ? Amazing all the deranged DewCrist nutters popping up out of the woodwork these days.
Here we have an example of Ted being woefully in over his head.
Ted is the one who hired Roberts to work for Bush in 2000 Florida. Ted is the connection, and was instrumental in placing Roberts on Bush's radar.
Does it matter if Ted was in the Senate during Robert's consideration? No. Did I say he was in the Senate during Robert's consideration? No.
Since you don't trust my word on how stupid Tead was to support Roberts nomination, here. Maybe you'll accept this idiot's comments on the subject.
He pushed W to hire Roberts during the whole HANGING CHAD thing and no matter what he claims now, also pushed W to choose Roberts for SCOTUS. One of THE worst of the worst Justices EVER!
