Cruz, speaking on the most recent episode of his Verdict podcast, said that besides the three Republican senators — Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) — who voted for Jackson, more would have voted for her if her sentencing history was not exposed.

What, does that mean they were okay with her position that the American people had no inalienable rights?

The primary season is just starting. That might have something to do with it. Too many of them are up in November and we’re on to them.

She was chosen, as I learned on NPR, because of her "great experience."

Her experience is:

Nine months' as a judge on the DC Circuit.

“more would have voted for her if her sentencing history was not exposed.”

Good to know that still matters when it comes to sexual abuse of children. I guess there’s still a line out there, anyway.

Exactly my point, for decades now.

These people are not with us in their hearts.

I knew that was the case.

There are far more than three Assistant Democrats among the GOP Senators.

Support someone who not only believes that federal mandatory minimum sentencing for child sex criminals are too harsh on the criminal...

But, openly admits they do not believe in the concept of natural rights.

The GOPe is evil, and it’s long past time the Uniparty is destroyed.

“The violence at the United States Capitol on January 6 was an attempt to subvert democracy, and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Rioters and extremists sought to prevent Members of Congress and Vice President Pence from performing their constitutional obligation to affirm the results of an election, and President Trump was wrong to continue to spread allegations of widespread fraud and not immediately discourage the reprehensible and unpatriotic behavior,” Moran’s stated in the release.”

Nine months' as a judge on the DC Circuit.

And eight years on the D.C. District Court.

47 out of 50 GOP senators had the courage to vote against this Marxist scum. That's 94%, much better than I was expecting.

I figured half of them would slobber all over themselves to show the media they're not racist. Glad I was wrong.
