Ted Cruz lays out democrats regarding SCOTUS nominee

.

Neither the color of someone's skin nor their gender changes the words or the meaning of the Constitution.
To suggest differently only indicates a nefarious agenda.

In a fiery opening statement at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) raked Democrats over the coals for their "explicitly racial" treatment of Republican judicial nominees.

Like several of his colleagues, Cruz pledged that Republicans would not turn the process into a "political circus," making pointed comments about how, "this will not be the kind of character smear that sadly our Democratic colleagues have gotten very good at."

Cruz then went on the describe the horrible treatment Justice Thomas endured as a black man seeking the office, as Thomas described it as a high tech lynching. Then he went into how Kavanaugh was treated.

Cruz told the nominee, "Judge Jackson, I can assure you that your hearing will feature none of that disgraceful behavior," Cruz said. "No one is going to inquire into your teenage dating habits. No one is going to ask you with mock severity, 'Do you like beer?'"

Cruz went on to say the Judiciary Committee has a "responsibility to focus on issues, to focus on your record, to focus on substance."

"It's not about race," Cruz added. "We will see Democrats and the media suggest that any senator that is skeptical of your nomination, that questions you vigorously, or that dares to vote against you must somehow harbor racial animus."

Interestingly, Cruz brought up the fact that Senator Kennedy once declined a nominee based on the fact they were a conservative Hispanic.

"The senior Democrats on this committee also filibustered Miguel Estrada, as the staff for [then-]Sen. Ted Kennedy [(D-Mass.)] said in writing at the time ... 'because he is Hispanic,'" Cruz said.

But all of this is lost on democrats because they are the scum of the earth and see no problem on how Republican nominees were treated or the hypocrisy of their past In fact, they probably want them treated worse or maybe even killed.
Demonrats are gutter scum.
 
He doesn’t have very high approval numbers

Cruz’s political handlers got a hold of him in Cancun and told him to get his ass home


I guess you also think all the "I don't have to wear a mask but you have to" politicians should be voted out as well, right?
 
I'm surprised he didn't call her an abortionist, and being a christian right to lifer is a "must" for gop nominees. so ... bfd
Republicans are playing the soft on Terrorism, soft on child porn card
 
Ginned up bullshit. The same slimey shit could be done by the other side to your side’s nominees. But we don’t sink to your debased levels.

There were specific complaints
Those making the complaints were allowed to testify to the Senate and provided credible testimony
 
Given the clowns, Dems, in office now we are pissed.
The dems with honesty voted against Keggers based on his lying about his stand on Roe, and that cost Heitkamp her seat. But Keggers was accused of sexual assault, that was a fact. There's no basis for the charge that Brown was more lenient that other Judges whom the gop has voted to confirm. But the charges against Keggers were ... spurious imo because there's no recent history of his continuing being a boorish drunk. If all men were held to the standard the dems employed, a lot of people would not get jobs.
