Mike Pence called Ted Cruz to talk about Trump's Supreme Court options

TEXARKANA, Texas — Sen. Ted Cruz was in the middle of a campaign stop on Thursday afternoon, walking through a local factory here where workers build custom truck trailers and parts, when an aide suddenly approached with his iPhone.

Vice President Mike Pence was on the line, and for about 15 minutes, Cruz, the outspoken tea party conservative and member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, ducked into a partially shaded alcove seeking shelter from the oppressive Texas heat. And Pence talked to Cruz about an issue that may ultimately consume every bit of political oxygen in coming months: President Trump’s looming decision on whom he will nominate to be the next Supreme Court justice.

I actually believe that the viable baby has civil rights. Civil Rights are not state issues. Civil rights are protected no matter what the state says. Compare this concept. Illegal aliens are imputed civil rights such as due process, free food , housing, education, unearned income tax credits. They are entities under the law — why not the same consideration for babies?

you might be right. Too many women on the Court anyway. We need a Protestant white male constitutionalist but my review of Kavanaugh has yielded very scary findings. He is a protege of John Sanunu , the worst Rino in the history of man. Sanunu actually was the reason for that blazing liberal Souter to be picked by bush!! I don’t think Trump will make that mistake.

> How exactly will she be anti-family while serving as a justice? Could you give an example or two to express your concerns?

She had the hired help raise her kids while she pursued a career.

When she adopted, she passed over American kids in favor of foreign ones.

Given the stakes it is grossly irresponsible to take any chance whatsoever that this pick will end up being a feminist or an elitist or an anti-American.

Too much at risk, too many unknowns, too many red flags. She is not the one.

While it’s useful to see the Left immolate itself over her, let’s not buy into the hype and automatically back someone who is not what we want just because the Left hates her.

Dude, they just called him.

Every action they make doesn’t require fan fiction to be tacked onto it.

The best that can be said of Lee is, at no time has he declared himself to be a NeverMcMuffin man.

Unfortunately, this prevented him from being a NeverHillary man.

Passed over American kids? My brother can tell you about the time, cost and heart break of dealing with adoption braucrats.

This is not a choice between Barrett and a Democrat.

This is a choice between Barrett and a conservative with a longer track record and no red flags indicating potential sympathy to left-wing ideology.

At least from you I learned where stereotypes of the right come from. Judgmental much?

These are orthodox, traditional family values I am espousing here, values that were the norm before the Left’s family-wrecking policy bulldozer got to work.

Perhaps you are too left-wing for this forum if those ideas make you uncomfortable.

The Left wants Cruz for the same reason they wanted him to run for President.
He is easy to beat.

“Civil rights are protected”

The federal government has no right to take action if a two-year old baby is murdered in a New York City hospital.

I agree with Ted that Lee would be a GREAT choice. So would he. But right now, we need them both in the Senate.

I could look beyond that if they were the only good choices available. but they’re not.

She’s getting the most buzz from the president’s supporters and opponents.

Sure they do. If it is a negro baby watch what happens. I am suggesting unborn as a protected class for protection. We have to stop this evil slaughter of human beings. Its genocide real bad.
