    He mentioned it once or twice in 2015.

      Never heard that one.

      “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        He actually ran for president. Don’t you remember how he committed election fraud in the Iowa caucus? Me neither but Trump does.

            @Jolly said in Ted Cruz, SCOTUS:

            Does it matter about the optics?

            If politicians had backbones, it would.

            That's completely backwards.

              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.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    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.”

                    Cruz, 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.”

                      No doubt she knows he threw her and her sister under the bus in 2021.
