Trump unveils Supreme Court list, includes Cruz and Cotton
The Hill ^ | 09 09 2020 | Morgan Chalfant and John Kruzel

Posted on 09/09/2020 2:10:34 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

President Trump on Wednesday announced an updated list of potential nominees to the Supreme Court that included three Republican U.S. senators and his former solicitor general.

Trump announced 20 additional potential nominees that would be added to a list of candidates for the Supreme Court, including Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Noel Francisco, who departed as solicitor general in June.

The move represents a bid to shore up his support among conservatives two months from the 2020 presidential election. In remarks at the White House, Trump warned that religious liberty, freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are all at risk if Democrats win the election, asserting that they would appoint “radical” justices to the high court.

“Over the next four years, America’s president will choose hundreds of federal judges and in all likelihood, one, two, three and even four Supreme Court justices,” Trump said in remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House.

“The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation’s founding principles or whether they are lost forever,” Trump continued.

Cruz wasn’t a natural born citizen and tried to run for president which means he doesn’t respect our constitution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you

Like he confronted Hillary in 2016, trashing Trump and
refusing to endorse during the convention?

Boy he sure fought to prevent her from being elected didn’t he. /s

Yeah, we can sure count on him.

MYTH?

He’s a Cubanadian!

Ted Cruz is lucky nobody looks into whether his mother renounced her U.S. citizenship in order to get Canadian freebies.

Ted was BORN in Canada! CANADA! LET THAT SINK IN........

His father was NOT a U.S. citizen. His mother, from whom is the only way that Ted is even a U.S. citizen, may have renounced her U.S. citizenship in order to get Canadian freebies and or vote in Canada.

In ANY CASE, Ted Cruz is NOT eligible to the office of President which he ran for while KNOWING he was not eligible.

NOT SCOTUS material.

I won’t say what kind of “material” I think he is made of.

Neither group is particularly bright.

They don’t tend to pop up much except in the 90 days or so before elections. I assume they are troll accounts.

I have always been a little confused on this. Is he a citizen? Can his offspring be President?

I just looked it up. He was born in Canada so no, he should not have run for the Presidency.

I think Trump and Cruz have forgiven one another for a knock-down, drag-out political fight. I was disappointed at Trump for smearing Cruz' wife. I voted for and support Trump.

The two of them remind me of Jefferson and Adams.

Both men wanted to be President. However, Adams played a little dirty and accused Jefferson of being a Deist and sympathetic to "musselmen" (muslims). It stuck. Even now the left plasters that all over Jefferson.

The truth is that Jefferson read the Qu'ran to understand his enemy. He wanted to smash the Barbary Pirates. Adams won and paid them tribute because he said America couldn't afford a war after the Revolution.

You can look up anything that you like but his Mother was born in Maryland and working in Canada when he was born.

Mark is young enough for consideration,

He's already 62 years old. You consider that young enough? Give me a 45-50 year old that will stay on the bench for 25-30 years.

Trump was responding to ads Cruz ran in Utah smearing Melania, basically calling her a porn model.

Yup. It comes from years of trying to set birthers straight.
