Yes, he did. And he said he was wrong.

Has Trump ever admitted a mistake?

Cruz voted for Roberts.

*******************************************************************

Roberts had hero status around here when he was first nominated and appointed. Things change and so do people’s opinions.

Remember Carl Rove? “Rove, you magnificent bastard”! Now it’s “Rove, you bastard”!

Cruz voted for Roberts.

Roberts was appointed in 2005.

Cruz became a Senator in Jan. 2013.

Cruz voted for Roberts.

Voted for Roberts as what? Cruz was elected to the Senate in 2012. Roberts was confirmed by the Senate as Chief Justice in 2005.

BTW, every Republican Senator voted to confirm Roberts. No one knew then what we know now.

Privately, Cruz recommended a couple of others. Cruz did not like the choice of Roberts.

Cruz voted for Roberts.

Too many republican appointees to the Supreme court look good going in but then swing to the left once confirmed.

Stevens, O'Conner, Kennedy, Souter, Roberts.....

We don't see that with the democrats.

If anything, they become even more hard line leftists after confirmation.

Ah I doubt Cruz was in the Snar when Roberts was nominated.

Will double check on that.
