Trump says he's thinking of putting Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Supreme Court

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Feb 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday said he was considering nominating Republican Senator Ted Cruz for a future seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.

Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican "an amazing guy," joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.

"He's the only guy I know, he'll get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the ass, but he's so good and so talented."

If anything, he needs to be deported as an "illegal alien".

It's not like the demise of our country is happening in slow motion. Why doesn't somebody DO something besides raising eyebrows like they're helpless?

"Checks and balances" my arse. Argh. 🤬

Cruz IS a royal pain in the ass, a prick to everyone, and I’d bet that essentially all the senators of both parties would like to see him leave!

Might trigger a wave of resignations from the Supreme Court. No one wants to work with Ted Cruz.

Seriously doubt that he would be confirmed to a lifetime appointment job where he would have no way to check his shitty power grabs.
