Trump says he's thinking of putting Republican Senator Ted Cruz on Supreme Court.

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."

He’s probably sorta right but I doubt it will happen.

Depends. Alito apparently wants to retire and may want to give Trump a chance to nominate a replacement and get s/he confirmed before the next Congress (in which the Senate may be controlled by Democrats).

With the current makeup of the Senate, Cruz would get confirmed.

@beckyromero Is there any doubt as to what the gender of a Trump nominee will be?

@FreddieUK

Eileen Cannon is out there, remember?

@beckyromero Thanks for that. I am guilty of reading across from the general attitude shown to women in authority by the MAGA regime.

Cruz is too old @beckyromero

🤣 He's 55.

I favor legislation requiring that a SCOTUS nominee be at least 65.
