"I think it is personal," the Texas senator said about Justice John Roberts' motivation to turn away from the conservative movement with his court decisions
Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "despises Donald Trump," which accounts for a number of the decisions he had made from the top seat on the high court in recent years.
In an appearance on David Brody's recently launched show "The Water Cooler," Senator Cruz, an attorney and author of the new book "One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History," told the host that "John Roberts has become the new Sandra Day O'Connor."
Cruz said he agrees with Vice President Mike Pence, who in an interview last month, told David Brody that Justice Roberts has been a "disappointment to conservatives."
However, Cruz believes that part of Roberts' pivot away from conservative-minded jurisprudence is motivated by personal hatred toward the president. "I think it is personal," said the senator.
"It is difficult to come up with two human beings more antithetical than John Roberts and Donald Trump, in every respect," he continued.
In addition to the release of his new book, the Senator is presently gearing up to begin the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings of conservative Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
He confirmed on "The Water Cooler" that believes, despite the challenges posed by coronavirus, that the committee has the capacity to move forward in a timely manner with the judge's hearing. Cruz also mentioned that Barrett, in a socially distanced form, met with lawmakers in the Mansfield room at the Capitol last week to prepare for the process.
Maybe someone should send him a pillow.
"I will administer justice without respect to persons" where the person(s) is President Trump?
JR limp dead fish handshake
Regardless of Roberts’ feelings about Trump or anyone else, he is a coward. He’s punted on some of the most important SC rulings during his time on the bench, turning his back on his own stated positions. Bush let us down here, as he did in so many other ways. Barrett better be a far more reliable conservative vote.
Well, Johnny, old boy....that feeling is pretty much mutual held by most of America. In other words, you’re utterly despicable.
Hey, by the way, was that YOU listed on the Epstein flight manifest that got released here a couple of weeks back?
How was your trip to the island? Have fun? Why dont you tell us about it? How about sharing some pictures...or does the DNC have em all?
Keep in mind that this is just Epstein's Gulfstream, and we haven't seen the logs from Epstein's chief pilot who flew the infamous "Lolita Express" B727. The US Virgin Islands attorney general has filed a subpoena for those logs.
But no “personal” problem with the Muslim, Obama.
And does Ghislaine Maxwell have any logs from her flights? She can pilot helicopters. Her insurance policy?
Roberts has a history of seizures.... Doctors said the 1993 and 2007 seizures meant Roberts would be deemed to suffer from epilepsy, although the court said in 2007 that the seizures were of unknown origin.
Limpy handshake.
p
Din’t see any love in his face either....lol
Roberts’ thinking is soft and effeminate. He is a good fit with Obama.
My cousin was epileptic. One night she had a grand mal seizure and her kids found her dead in bed.
Trump did not nominate him.
Sorry she died but if any comfort she likely wasn't at all aware.
Roberts was Bushes nomination not Trumps.
In all fairness, hasnt Roberts been the wolf since 2005? He wasnt appointed by Trump. He famously sank hopes of eliminating ObamaCare.
Roberts - another Boosh appointee
Looks like he is not judged as having epilepsy. Untreated he would be having more seizures than that.
Even so, what has that to do with 2 minds? Epilepsy is not a mental disorder.
