They understand, but they don’t think others understand. If Cruz keeps repeating shit and many Americans don’t or won’t think critically, whatever he says is good enough as true.

As far as gun control - these constitutional originalists are *totally cherry picking* - if you’re gonna be literal + O.G. - it only applies to MILITIAS and the weapons they refer to are SINGLE LOADING MUSKETS.

Scalia’s view on Roe v. Wade was that it should be overturned, because our founding fathers didn’t go around having abortions.

A Supreme Court justice, ideally, is not a Democrat or a Republican but rather someone who can impartially evaluate complicated legal issues irrespective of politics.

Cruz argues that it would be a disservice to the American people to allow a lame duck president appoint Scalia’s replacement, drawing on that nonexistent lame duck clause to which Warren refers in her post

I have the weirdest need to help Jeb Bush. I disagree with him on literally every element of policy, but I just want to take him aside and be like “no, buddy, use the zipper. You got this.”

If Jeb was smart, he’d take this opportunity to deny being related to W. But that’s a big “if”. After all, this is a man who doesn’t know how to put a hoodie on.

We really are just the stupidest country...

The best debate is gonna be when Trump lets JEB! know *he was adopted*.

is that The Game?

Yes! Another reason for folks to vote in this election. Appointments of SCOTUS judges. We can't risk anymore regressive appointees.

Same! But won’t it be a conflict of interest when President Michelle Obama appoints him in 2025?

“He pushed the repeal of DADT through (thanks Clintons!)“

Not to detract from your general point, but this is a really bad understanding of the nature of presidencies. In 1992 Bill Clinton directly campaigned on totally ending the ban on gays in the military, along with a universal health care plan. When universal…

I really hope Obama is appointed as a Supreme Court Justice. That would be amazing!!!

You do know only one Clinton was president, right? There’s no need to say Clintons. They have the same last name. Everybody’s associating them anyway.

And for people who are too young, she faced a firestorm for having come out; people demanded she be fired, certain radio hosts called her “Ellen Degenerate” and considered themselves fiendishly clever, and she was basically shunned by craven networks who feared losing their audiences.

I wish he could be in his last year forever; he’s been his best self lately! He’s probably gonna be a great ex-president too...

I get what he’s saying because Ellen was visible in a way no one in Hollywood had been up until that point. Still, as humble as he is, he’s been an amazing president for LGBT individuals (and the country at large, I think.) He pushed the repeal of DADT through (thanks Clintons!) and refused to defend DOMA (thanks…

Damn I’m gonna miss him.
