Republican Senator Ted Cruz says that President Donald Trump should nominate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor next week, and that the Senate should confirm a successor before the election.
Shortly after Ginsburg’s death was announced on Friday, Cruz said that Trump needed to move quickly.
Cruz said that Democrats plan to challenge the 2020 election, and argued that a Supreme Court that is split 4-4 cannot decide anything and under that scenario, would risk a ‘constitutional crisis.’

“Democrats and Joe Biden have made clear they intend to challenge this election. They intend to fight the legitimacy of the election. As you you know Hillary Clinton has told Joe Biden ‘under no circumstances should you concede, you should challenge this election.’ and we cannot have election day come and go with a 4-4 court.”
He continued, “A 4-4 court that is equally divided cannot decide anything. And I think we risk a constitutional crisis if we do not have a nine-justice Supreme Court, particularly when there is such a risk of … a contested election.”
Breitbart reports: Cruz said, “I believe that the president should, next week, nominate a successor to the court. And I think it is critical that the Senate takes up and confirms that successor before Election Day. There’s going to be enormous pressure from the media. There’s going to be enormous pressure from Democrats to delay filling this vacancy. But this election — this nomination is why Donald Trump was elected. This confirmation is why the voters voted for a Republican majority in the Senate. And I’ll tell you one reason in particular, Sean, why I think it is tremendously important that not only does the nomination happen next week, but that the confirmation happen before Election Day: Because Democrats and Joe Biden have made clear, they intend to challenge this election, they intend to fight the legitimacy of the election. … And we cannot have Election Day come and go with a 4-4 court. A 4-4 court that is equally divided cannot decide anything, and I think we risk a constitutional crisis if we do not have a nine-justice Supreme Court, particularly when there is such a risk of a contested litigation — and a contested election.”

Trump should nominate Cruz because he seems to understand the US constitution, and is loyal to it, and is not a pathological liar like Ginburg, and is not a slow-witted meat puppet like Sotomayor.
All of Obimbo’s appointments to the USSC were liars or low IQ boobs, which is a very accurate reflection on Obimbo.
It is ironic that the best constitution literalist on the USSC is a Black man.
Call all the RINOs to tell them they better fall in line behind President Trump and Mitch McConnell. CALL CALL CALL – Susan Collins (202)-224-2523 – Chuck Grassley (202)-224-3744 – Lisa Murkowski (202)-224-6665 –
Mitt Romney (202)-224-5251. CALL
That will have ZERO effect.
The only voice these people might respect is the voter who removes them from office or if voters push for term limits.
Every senator you listed is a RINO, a lying Democrat pretending to be a Republican.
You would think it was essential service ,and bot one left vacant till it suits the Democrats. Still they dont care about the law anyway unless theyre prosecuting .
You don’t care about the law as well, with your constant babbling about preserving democracy.
The supreme law in the US is the constitution, not federal law.
The sole reason the USSC or any other federal court exists is to adjudicate if a minor law is in strict accordance with the constitution.
You’re correct about his babbling. He’s not even an American. He’s from socialist Australia. And if you challenge him he goes directly to the name calling because he doesn’t have a valid argument.
