Ted Cruz, SCOTUS
-
Also we need SCOTUS judges whose final ambition is serving on the court (or maybe leading it). Not someone who wants to use it as a springboard to the presidency. Guaranteed mischief will come from that.

@Jolly said in Ted Cruz, SCOTUS:
Does it matter about the optics?
If politicians had backbones, it would.

That's completely backwards.

@Mik said in Ted Cruz, SCOTUS:
I like Cruz in many ways. But I'd prefer someone with judicial experience.
He was solicitor general for Texas (that's not judicial experience, per se).
He clerked for Luttig (4th Circuit Appellate judge) and later Rehnquist.

Well, since he was reelected, I guess that he is out of consideration for Supreme Court Judge.
But, there may be a couple of awkward dinner conversations around the Cruz table.
“It also looks very likely that we’re going to have a Republican Senate next year. I believe, and I hope and pray, that Donald Trump will be elected president of the United States,” Cruz said on Tuesday to raucous cheers.
Meanwhile Caroline scoffed at her father’s statement and, as her eyes scanned the crowd, she spotted her mother, Heidi Cruz, joining in on the applause.
“Don’t clap for that,” the teen can be seen muttering as she scowled at her mom, before repeating: “Don’t clap… seriously.”
Link to videoCruz, seemingly oblivious of his daughter’s disapproval, continued: “I want to say thank you to our two amazing and beautiful girls Caroline and Katherine. You know, politics at times exacts a price on the family. And I want to say I am so grateful for their love and support.”

They say the end-times will be characterised by a lack of respect of children for their elders.
