The Arkansas Republican tweeted: 'It's time for Roe v. Wade to go.'

Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a list of people he would consider appointing to the Supreme Court should he win another term in office, including three Republican senators: Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

All three men are vocally anti-abortion. Cotton reminded the public of that minutes after Trump said the Arkansas senator is among those he's considering for the court.

"It's time for Roe v. Wade to go," Cotton tweeted.

Supreme Court justices are supposed to be neutral, deciding cases based on the Constitution rather than on their personal political convictions.

1. Voted out of office? He literally doesn't have an opponent

Maybe a write in candidate. I haven’t heard if that’s final yet.

2. That is amazing.................

[jimfields33]

3. The worst of the senate has a free ride.

Amazing indeed.

[turbinetree]

9. You have to expose people like this and there record................

[BlueStater]

5. Why can't they find an opponent for him?

Arkansas is red, but it doesn’t seem to be Alabama red. They’ve had a decent number of Democratic Senators (Dale Bumpers, Blanche Lincoln, the two Pryors) in the past 25 years. I’m not saying that a hypothetical opponent would beat this skinny warmongerer, but none at all is just pathetic.

7. I know. It's frustrating!

At least they could have put a young up and comer candidate in there and given the person experience and name recognition during the race. And heck, at least shut cotton up for some months.

4. cotton is the most dangerous fascist terrorist in the country so he will be the fascists pick to run

in '24

[BlueStater]

6. His ideas are scary, but he has zero charisma at all.

I see it as unlikely that he could win the nomination based on that.

[Polybius]

25. Nah

Tucker Carlson has that locked.

[Hip2bSquare]

8. Women vs Evangelicals!!

So, we are down to the wire with election day so close and they are going to try this little tactic. Who will be more motivated at the polls...women, who are already leaning away from dump, or will this little charade drive the evangelicals to the poles.

This is down to women... the largest group in this country. Everything trump touches dies... this little stunt will backfire.

11. SERIOUSLY

sorry, need to turn off Caps lock but I'm pissed off

[LuckyLib]

17. Mr. Dumpf, if you want to see women take to the streets, try this cynical maneuver. We'll give you

a parade you'll never forget!

[LymphocyteLover]

10. HE IS A DANGEROUS PSYCHOPATH JUST LIKE TRUMP

EVIL FASCIST.

[katmondoo]

12. Just another weak, cowardly man. FU !

[PSPS]

13. Would never even be nominated, let alone confirmed. This is just vote-bait for the deplorables.

[johnnyfins]

14. The House needs to start thinking about DEFUNDING

before the whole thing burns down.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. *NOT* the judicial temperament

he's the wrecking ball of humanity

[calclar]

16. COTTON IS ALREADY ANGLING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024 AND...

...THAT'S WHEN WE KNOW WE'VE BECOME FULL FASCIST.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Sick fuck even looks like Stephen Miller. Cotton is the one who "needs to go."

[dalton99a]

19. Cotton is a vile, ruthless piece of shit fascist just like Trump

[onetexan]

20. The Con is pandering to Cotton & Cruz' rabid supporters by saying he wants them on the SCOTUS

which is why Rotten Cotton is coming out w/ this ridiculous statement re: Roe vWade now. Cotton is a racist nutter.

[johnnyfins]

22. no he's not. He's REWARDING them for their support.

Ted Cruz Supreme Court Justice? Tom Cotton? Too bad we are taking the Senate. No picks for you Fat Nixon. Even if Joe doesn't win.

[onetexan]

23. Rewarding is the price he pays for pandering to their rabid supporters.

[TomSlick]

21. Suffering Jesus.

Just too awful to consider.

[LovingA2andMI]

24. And The Supreme Court...

This Asshole will NEVER Be! #VoteforJoeAndKamala

[louzke9]

26. THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN....

To ALL OF US IF some people don't vote. If you don't vote or vote third party we will get Tom Cotton! It doesn't get MORE REAL than this!

[louzke9]

27. This will bring out RIGHT TO LIFE VOTERS!

This is a crucial campaign tactic! Its a bribe to the right, come out to vote and I'll stack the SCOTUS with religious zealots. Be very afraid! There has been a long term goal of Dominionists to turn this country into a theocracy through elections and stacking our courts! Think no abortion, no birth control, no separation of church and state, Christianity based OFFICIAL religion of the US, Christian prayers in school, prison and death sentences for gays. How far do zealots go....just look back on history.

28. Misogynistic, woman-hating gestational slaver and fascist traitor.

[lonely bird]

29. Exactly re: traitor

His actions during Obama’s administration regarding Iran were treasonous. He was certainly free to disagree with the agreement but to publish the letter was completely unacceptable and gave aid to the enemy.
