Ted Cruz must recuse himself on Scalia replacement

Another mule kick to cruz


As is well known, Cruz's claim to "natural born" United States citizenship has been questioned (bombastically) by Donald Trump, and (very seriously) by a number of highly respected legal scholars, including Harvard's Lawrence Tribe and the University of Chicago's Eric Posner.

It is far from a given that Cruz is constitutionally qualified to be president, and his status, if nominated, is sure to be challenged in court. (The one case already filed was an easily dismissed nuisance suit, but serious litigation would certainly follow from an actual Cruz nomination.)



Such a case would ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court, which gives Cruz a unique stake in filling the current vacancy. If Cruz were to remain an active member of the Judiciary Committee, he would actually have a chance to interrogate -- and to vote upon -- his own

I just love it when Guno wakes up first thing in the morning stuck on stupid. Serving in the Senate or voting in the Senate does NOT require "birthright" citizenship. THAT was proven when then Senator Obama was running for his senate seat with his birth place listed as Kenya.

You little creep. How about you wait until Cruz gets the nomination first?
Which he won't of course.
You are obviously pretty fucking stupid to think Cruz has a chance in hell.
President Trump and his REP Senate majority will decide to next SCJ.
In eight years it's possible that Trump will put 5-6 REP SCJ on the bench. They will sit there for fucking decades protecting America from scum like you.

Cruz makes his Supreme Court knowledge new focal point...

Cruz makes his vast Supreme Court knowledge a camp
16 Feb.`16 - Cruz makes Supreme Court vacancy focal point of his bid for Republican presidential nomination

Ted Cruz has always talked about the Supreme Court as a candidate for president, but it's become the new focal point of his White House bid following the weekend death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The Texas senator on Monday recast the stump speech he's offered voters for the past several weeks to highlight the importance of electing a conservative who will appoint what he called the right kind of justices to the Supreme Court, which he described as currently being "activist" and "out of control." Cruz argued before the Supreme Court nine times by age 40, winning two cases and losing four, with three cases having a murkier outcome. He says that gives him alone "the background, the principle, the character, the judgment" to find a solid conservative to replace Scalia.

The tea party darling also has vowed to filibuster any nominees offered by President Barack Obama, saying one more liberal Supreme Court justice could wipe out state-level abortion restrictions while undermining religious liberty and curtailing gun ownership. "This presidential election is the turning point between either prevailing or losing that fight for a generation," Cruz told a crowd in Florence, South Carolina. A graduate of Harvard Law School, Cruz clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist. His high court arguments were the bedrock of his underdog Senate victory in Texas and are woven into the DNA of his presidential run.

If elected, Cruz would be the ninth president to have argued before the Supreme Court, but the first since Richard Nixon in 1966, according to The American Bar Association. Cruz constantly reminds audiences he defended states' rights, gun rights, the Ten Commandments and capital punishment before the high court.He doesn't suggest he won every case, but Cruz's defeats can get lost in translation. While canvassing for Cruz in Iowa last month, a volunteer visiting from Georgia proclaimed to caucus-goers that her candidate "won every one" of his nine cases. Cruz did prevail in his final Supreme Court appearance. He won a patent infringement case in 2011 involving a deep fat fryer while working for a private Houston law firm.

Judiciary chairman open to hearing for Supreme Court pick
16 Feb.`16 | WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is leaving open the possibility of holding a hearing for President Barack Obama's choice to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, amid signs of uncertainty about how Republicans would treat a nominee to replace the late Antonin Scalia.

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said he backs Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's view that Obama's successor should make the nomination of a lifetime appointment. But Grassley didn't rule out holding confirmation hearings and a vote by his panel on an Obama selection. "I would wait until the nominee is made before I would make any decision," Grassley said Tuesday in a conference call with Iowa radio reporters. "In other words, take it a step at a time."

Asked if he thought the controversy over filling the court vacancy might endanger his re-election chances this fall, Grassley said, "I think I have a responsibility to perform and I can't worry about the election. I've got to do my job as a senator, whatever it is. And there will be a lot of tough votes between now and the next election." The battle lines were set almost immediately in the hours after Scalia's death on Saturday.

Senate Republicans, led by McConnell and including vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election this year, said Election Day in November will give voters a say in who replaces Scalia. Senate Democrats countered that Obama is president until Jan. 20, 2017 and has every constitutional right to make the selection and the Senate should do its job and consider the choice.

Obama has said he will nominate a replacement in due time. His Democratic allies made it clear that denying the president that right would be an unprecedented step and argued it would enshrine the GOP as "the most nakedly partisan, obstructionist and irresponsible majority in history." "By ignoring its constitutional mandate, the Senate would sabotage the highest court in the United States and aim a procedural missile at the foundation of our system of checks and balances," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a scathing op-ed in Tuesday's Washington Post.
