Cruz: SCOTUS Not His Desire
Ted Cruz was among a second wave of names added to President Trump’s short list of potential Supreme Court nominees, but the Texas senator doesn’t see himself on the highest bench in the land anytime soon.
Cruz, who recently authored the book, One Vote Away, analyzing the most important SCOTUS decisions of our lifetime, says there’s nothing more important long-term than preserving the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, but added that he would decline a nomination from the President. “I’m glad that the President has the confidence in me, but that’s not the desire in my heart. I want to be in the political fight.”
And in the fight he is, proclaiming in the book that the thought of activist judges controlling the Supreme Court would gravely damage our basic civil liberties. “We got to stop rolling the dice with our Constitutional liberties,” he says. Here’s more with Cruz and Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
