Donald Trump floated nominating Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court for a future vacancy on the nation’s high court, joking that the Texas Republican senator’s confirmation would earn unanimous Senate support because senators from both parties would like to see him gone.
Trump, who has mentioned Cruz previously for the Supreme Court, suggested the third-term senator again at an Oct. 27 midterm campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas as the president discussed what he might do if he gets to nominate a Supreme Court justice for a fourth time over his two White House terms.
Well, now we have an exact valuation on what Ted Cruz thinks his wife is worth.
Gross.
Don’t you have to be a judge to be on the Supreme Court? Is the United States just a big game of Calvinball now?
You don’t even have to be a lawyer.
Jesus Christ.
Why doesn’t Trump appoint himself at this point?
Too much work, too much reading.
Does a position on the Supreme Court offer discount flight prices to Cancun for when you get heat for your job? Asking on behalf of a shitty Texas senator.
Fucking do it.
Everyone in the Federal government hates Cruz, it’s been the one issue everyone agrees on across the aisle
If trump puts Cruz on the SC, it virtually guarantees a 2/3 majority to drastically overhaul the SC, and motivate everyone to get it done, just to get rid of Cruz.
Cruz gotta get 51 votes in the Senate where everyone hates him to be confirmed tho.
You don’t think he can get 51 votes to leave the senate?
Is it necessarily set in stone that he has to leave the senate to be on the Supreme Court?
As far as I know, there’s nothing in US law or the Constitution that says one person can’t do both things.
I think the running joke is that it would be a unanimous 99-0 vote so they can finally get rid of him
Like a “fuck you, gtfo” vote for a lifetime appointment to the supreme court. Lol., no I didn’t think of that.
I wonder if that’s to keep him from running for President. Clear the field for ol’ JD Vimle.
Fingers crossed Diaper Don won’t get to appoint any more justices after the midterms.
Even if Dems win the midterms and can force him to nominate actually qualified people he’d still get to appoint them unless the impeachment is lickety split which we know it won’t be.
Unless the Dems grow a pair and simply deny all appointments until he’s out of office.
He already put the high priest of Nurgle in charge of public health. Why not put the Zodiac Killer on the Supreme Court?
I didn’t give him permission to nominate Ted Cruz
Rip that blindfold right off Lady Justice.
