CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Feb 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday said he was considering nominating Republican Senator Ted Cruz for a future seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, although Cruz last month said he was not interested.

Trump, introducing Cruz at a rally in Corpus Christi, called the Texas Republican "an amazing guy," joking that he would easily win confirmation from Democrats and Republicans in Congress alike because they wanted to get him out of the Senate.

"He's the only guy I know, he'll get 100% of the Democrat vote, 100% of the Republican vote. They want to get him out of there. He is such a pain in the ass, but he's so good and so talented."

4. Jesus fucking christ...

It's not like the demise of our country is happening in slow motion. Why doesn't somebody DO something besides raising eyebrows like they're helpless?

"Checks and balances" my arse. Argh. 🤬

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Well, that's going to piss off Aileen Cannon...nt

[BidenRocks]

6. All I want is one Secret Service (SS) agent.

One agent with cancer and weeks to live.
Monuments would be erected.

7. Wouldn't that interfere with his busy travel schedule?

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. Cancun her I come!

[WestMichRad]

9. Well I actually agree with him on something!

Cruz IS a royal pain in the ass, a prick to everyone, and I’d bet that essentially all the senators of both parties would like to see him leave!

10. Could be a good thing...

Might trigger a wave of resignations from the Supreme Court. No one wants to work with Ted Cruz.

11. Who is he going to "bump off" of the present court?

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Rumors have swirled for months that Alito was going to bump himself out.

That would leave Thomas puppetmasterless once more after he "lost" Scalia.

12. If the weather is bad, will he show up ?

Could lead to some split decisions.

14. Talk about waking to

A sick stomach. The news keeps getting worse!

[Lonestarblue]

15. That's enough to cause me to lose my breakfast. Good god, this man needs to go now.

[intheflow]

16. He's a pain in the ass both parties want out of Congress?

Seriously doubt that he would be confirmed to a lifetime appointment job where he would have no way to check his shitty power grabs.

[bluestarone]

17. Hell, i'm sure even some RETHUGS will be against this

[Kid Berwyn]

18. Save Time

Put Trump, Cruz, Roberts, Slappy Thomas and the rest of the treasonous gang directly in federal prison where they are destined to live out the remainders of their natural days making big rocks into little rocks.

[TBF]

19. At least it would get him the hell out of Texas -

then we'd have TWO senate seats to fill. Boom, we have senators Crockett AND Talarico.
