Ted Cruz Proposes Amendment To Vote Out Supreme Court Justices

[Lakhota]

After calling the last day "some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation's history," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is now calling for Supreme Court justices to face elections.

In a National Review op-ed published Friday, Cruz chastised the high court for its decisions to reject a major challenge to Obamacare and to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide.

"Both decisions were judicial activism, plain and simple," Cruz writes. "Both were lawless."

To challenge that "judicial activism," Cruz said he is proposing a constitutional amendment to require Supreme Court justices to face retention elections every eight years.

So funny. Liberals have a great week and NaziCons want to vote out SCOTUS. NaziCons are very sore losers. Liberals move forward and NaziCons are like evolution in reverse. NaziCons love Citizens United.

Yeah, every time the Supreme Court crosses the line and decides against the far right, they want to change the rules.
Cruz shows what kind of presidential timber he has,,,,,,none.

It's hilarious to hear a Cuban Canadian whining about America not going his way. Tough shit, Commie Canuck Cruz.

This is unmitigated idiocy – Cruz is exhibiting his comprehensive ignorance of the law, and contempt for the rule of law.

How can you demand a retention election for someone who's not elected?

 

[Mr. H.]

Read the dissent, you 'tards.

And his contempt for our Founders.

See Federalist #76.

Republicans want to:

- remove Supreme Court Justices
- remove the president
- change the Constitution
- defend the confederate flag
- claim there is no racism
- pass bills in states to limit voting rights
- refuse to follow the law of the land

WTF. As I've been saying, they really don't see any value in American democracy anymore.

Ted Cruz has gone full retard. Never go full retard.

Remind us again, how many times you have argued before the supreme court?

Wrong, contempt for the founders is doing whatever the hell you want with a pen and a phone. Cruz is making a proposal IAW the US Constitution. See the difference?

Wow and some (very few) people actually want that lunatic in the White House.

 

[JGalt]

The SC has been infiltrated with partisan hacks and left-wing political activists. I agree with Cruz, vote them out.

Cruz shows what kind of presidential timber he has,,,,,,none.

If the Court was stacked 6-3 Conservative Robes, the Left would be all over what Cruz is proposing. This is a proposal that could benefit everyone.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Didn't Ted Cruz sign up for Obamacare a while back?

Schizophrenia, don't knock it till you try it.

How many amendments has he proposed now? You've got to realize that this is going no where.

Nope. Even after the Citizen's United decision, one of the worst supreme court rulings in recent memory.....I don't know of any one on the left of significance who proposed what Cruz did. You're merely projecting.

This is typical of the right wing..
