Trump and Tillerson are going to start World War 3 with China to please our Russian overlords, while they start taking over Europe and the Middle East, while at home, they're going to roll our basic rights and freedoms back to the fucking stone ages. But no let's all focus on those fucking emails.

Sen. Ted Cruz responds to being a potential Supreme Court Justice

24 Comment Share Tweet Stumble Email

During an interview for Face the Nation, host John Dickerson asked Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) if he would consider accepting the vacant spot on the Supreme Court after the sudden death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This comes after Republican presidential candidates and Republican members of the senate have vowed not to approve anyone President Obama nominates during his last year in office.

"That is not a job I'm interested in." Cruz said and added, "The job I'm interested in is appointing 3, 4, 5 Supreme Court justices, is defending the constitution."

.......that Cruz may be Cornyn's first choice, but I don't think that he's has ever been on Trump's short list for the Court.

Whatever, we'll learn soon enough who he'll nominate.

If Ted is on the Supreme Court we'll soon turn into a nation of brood mares, ladies.
