During an interview on"This Week," Cruz, who is on President Donald Trump's shortlist for the next Supreme Court nominee, told ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos that the nation cannot afford to have a short-handed high court with a possible contested presidential election just 44 days away.
NPR reported that just days before her death, Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera, saying,"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." When President Obama nominated U.S. Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland in 2016 to fill the seat of Justice Antonin Scalia, the conservative lion of the Supreme Court who died suddenly, McConnell and the majority of his Republican Senate colleagues refused to grant a confirmation hearing 10 months before the Presidential election, saying the next president should make the appointment.
Cruz praised McConnell and Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee,"for holding the line and ensuring that We the People get to exercise our authority to decide the direction of the Supreme Court and the Bill of Rights."
Wow, Ted aged alot in 10 years.
Pushing for replacement of Ginsburg’s seat, will have political ramifications for the GOP and could possibly lose a few Senate seats and the GOP won’t have decisive majority.
GET YOUR STORY RIGHT..TED. SAW YOU ON TV WOW YOU AND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LIES SOOOO MUCH BUNCH OF LIERS.. AND YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BEIEVE YOUR GARBAGE I HOPE PEOPLE DONT...WERE BETTER THAN THAT..
What a joke...
I'm guessing Ted has already has a robe he purchased buried in the back of his closet..
ONLY CONTESTED BY TRUMP IF HE LOSES THE MAN HAS NO HONOR
He’s full of shit
do better
Because of trump, many now question the accuracy of American voting. Courts may decide again for us - like 2000.
Or in other words: “we already now have a conservative majority, but we’re worried Roberts won’t bend the knee like we want him to”....news flash, he will. This is just further court packing
HAHAHAHAHA the 2016 election could have been contested, too. But back then you did not give a shit. So, it is all a BS response.
Great source of information...
In light of the coming election, you gotta admit, he's right!
