People around here seriously need to start thinking like this is Chess and not checkers.
So many here say “No” to Cruz, then silent on Gorsuch. Well I mightily hope that Gorsuch is okay with his Episcopalian gay friendly church, but we don’t really know, do we?
We know Cruz, warts and all. So those who are okay with an unknown because you don’t like Cruz — people think there is some ideal or close to perfect (this also happens when visualizing some unknown potential mate) — wake up. Please.
I have zero problem with Cruz on the Court, other than my above concern that his elbow-throwing style won’t work well in judicial conferences. (Hell, he was my candidate in the primaries until Trump sewed it up.) My concern with his nomination is political: I am guessing he would lose enough squish GOP Senators that he wouldn’t get confirmed.
