Sure glad Rooster Head isn't on the list and that they removed the flip-flopping Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.

Hawley's out. Anyone associated with Roberts can't be trusted. Cruz on the other hand is a pure bred conservative. Cruz would make a great Supreme Court Justice.

Cruz would be a badass Justice of the Supreme Court.
Here's hoping that Ginsburg retires to a condo in Miami Beach like she should've done 7 years ago...

Tom Cotton would be a great SCJ, and he is young! The presidency is only 8 years at most.

There seemed to be some idea that Justices were interchangable-- that a woman would be replaced by a woman, or a black with a black, etc.
Qualifications matter, not gender or racial background.
That said, is there room for a highly qualified Hispanic named Cruz on the Court?

Ted Cruz would be a very good pick to replace RBG.

The problem is, today's great pick is tomorrow's turncoat. The president cant know any more than the rest of us can, and we frequently get burned.

I see that Judge Amy Coney Barrett is mentioned as a candidate. Good for her. Great for the nation if she were to be nominated. But, first things first. Let's get past November 3rd and a landslide win for the President.

Cruz reminds me a bit of Judge Scalia. Tom Cotton is my second pick.

Cruz would be great at the sure-to-be vicious confirmation hearings.

Cruz has argued before the Supreme Court several times and was Texas Solicitor General, I believe. The Supreme Court is where he belongs.

Well #12, he isn’t any more devout a Christian than Justice Clarence Thomas and Senator Tom Cotton. With enough guts, not a problem.
We will see Cruz on the court, sooner rather than later. To be honest, his main skill is brilliant LAWYER devoted to our beloved Constitution. This is the slot where Ted always shines - every time. Justice Thomas needs another solid backup. Every conservative is not necessarily cut out yo be POTUS.
Senator Cotton I pray will stay in Senate for awhile because he is one of the few LEADERS amongst a sea of clubby RINOs. He gets out there early on issues unlike most of them. His consistent, public support for Trump, good times and bad, have won him a loyal and excited base of support in Arkansas.

Cruz and Cotton are excellent choices! Both love America and both are Constitutionalists.
