Ted Cruz Says Another SCOTUS Vacancy Is Just Months Away

“I think we’ll have another Supreme Court vacancy this summer,” Cruz said at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday. “If that happens, as much as the left is crazy now, they will go full Armageddon meltdown because the next vacancy is where we’ll have the ability to act and restore basic constitution protections.”

Don't count your chickens Ted. The very same pseudo 'conservatives' that threw you to the dogs arent likely to stand up for conservatives taking control of the USSC. They are more likely to cave in to their liberal tendencies as usual when the chips are down...and you of all people should know that.

?? I saw the interview and at the time thought this was definitely something he was going to regret saying for several reasons.  One; three of the justices are up in years and it's going to look suspect should one pass in the time frame he mentioned.  Two, there is always the strong possibility that none of the justices retire; I can see the justices not retiring just to prove him wrong. The last reason being there is a chance that another conservative justice won't be appointed. I think the DEMS will fight tooth and nail to reject another conservative justice and further, there is nothing in the Constitution that mandates a specific number of justices be seated on the court.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I'm sure the liberal SC justices are sharing their retirement plans with Cruz :silly:

Cruz like all politicians will say some pretty dumb things while trying to throw red meat to a friendly crowd... :shrug:

Considering the age of some, it's not a totally unreasonable speculation.

Oh yes, defending the Obama stimulus, unlimited green cards, H1B1 visas, legal residency to millions of illegals, must be your kind of conservative.  :silly:

Trump may be remodeling the SCOTUS.

Ginsberg has been nodding off at the SOU for years already.

Cruz is simply stating the obvious.

I don't know why certain media outlets find it necessary to quote even the most mundane things he says.

Granted ... but he specifically stated by this Summer.  Retiring or passing away because of age is one thing, but putting a time frame on this issue is another.

Arizona, Nevada and Texas because of demographics, have the potential to shift in the next 20 years, just like California already has.  Blue counties in much of the Rio Grande valley.

So, some of the Trump critics can be found in these states, just watch. Trump expanding GOP wins into Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa may be key to the future well-being of Conservatism.

The summer would be a good time for Kennedy to step down.  He may throwing hints to certain people to influence his replacement. 

Breyer won't leave until the next Democrat president.  Ginsburg has been dead for years and nobody will do anything about it.

This is not just idle speculation on Cruz' part.  It shouldn't be hard to guess who, but that's all I'm saying.

Oh that's just one of lesser accomplishments, I believe he was given the mantle of Anti Christ prior to the election.

I am pretty sure you can find Trump critics in every state, despite what some believe, Trump is only a man and not infallible, omniscient, omnipotent or anointed by God, he makes mistakes and it is perfectly acceptable to criticize him when he does. Why shouldn't people have the same right to criticize Trump as those who criticize Cruz, no matter what he does?
