In reply to the discussion: Trump: 'Prepared' to nominate new Supreme Court justice if Alito, Thomas retire [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,610 posts)41. 45 was the one who brought his name up
Trump very much interested in appointing Ted Cruz to U.S. Supreme Court
(45's 3rd mention of him yesterday, after bringing him up in January and then February)
Cruz was behind the scenes on January 6 as one the architects for a scheme to throw out the results of the 2020 election in selected states via contesting enough of those state results as to declare the entire election as "unresolved" (a repeat of what happened in 1876, which triggered the creation of new laws dealing with "unresolved results" ), and thus send the final decision to the state legislatures to pick the President.
Of course the majority of state legislatures are GOP and they would have picked 45 over Biden, despite Biden receiving the majority of the Electoral and popular vote.
He needs to join Ghouliani and now Eastman, in disbarment land.

He's looking at Carnival Cruz, who was in the same Harvard Law class as Ketanji Brown Jackson
