Trump floats nominating Ted Cruz to Supreme Court for future vacancy
Donald Trump floated nominating Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court for a future vacancy on the nation’s high court, joking that the Texas Republican senator’s confirmation would earn unanimous Senate support because senators from both parties would like to see him gone.
Trump, who has mentioned Cruz previously for the Supreme Court, suggested the third-term senator again at an Oct. 27 midterm campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas as the president discussed what he might do if he gets to nominate a Supreme Court justice for a fourth time over his two White House terms.

Don’t you have to be a judge to be on the Supreme Court? Is the United States just a big game of Calvinball now?

Fucking do it. Everyone in the Federal government hates Cruz, it’s been the one issue everyone agrees on across the aisle If trump puts Cruz on the SC, it virtually guarantees a 2/3 majority to drastically overhaul the SC, and motivate everyone to get it done, just to get rid of Cruz.

Does a position on the Supreme Court offer discount flight prices to Cancun for when you get heat for your job? Asking on behalf of a shitty Texas senator.
