Just hours after the country learned that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died, Ted Cruz warned Republican voters that Donald Trump would appoint liberal Supreme Court justices if he were elected president.
“The next president is going to appoint one, two, three, four Supreme Court justices,” Cruz said Saturday during the GOP debate in South Carolina. “If Donald Trump is president, he will appoint liberals.”
Returning to the issue a few moments later in the debate, Cruz said the proof is in Trump’s political money trail.
“You know how I know Donald’s Supreme Court justices will be liberal? Because he supported liberals from Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry. In 2004, he contributed to John Kerry. Nobody who cares about judges would contribute to John Kerry, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid.”
Food fight!
For once, I wish Ted Cruz were right.
Is this normal? Does this happen in debates?
This is more primates in a cage flinging poo
All of these candidates said they didn’t want the President to perform his constitutional duty to put forth an appointee to the Supreme Court. The absolute hypocrisy is astounding. Republicans are choosing to block him by announcing it advance. They don’t even have the sense to wait to see who he picks. Basically, we have all Republicans trying to nullify the constitutional authority of this President to do his job…and it pisses me off. They consistently have the nerve to turn around and blame him for not doing his job, but never take any responsibility for their constant effort to block him from doing what he was elected to do.
