Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks during a town hall meeting, Friday, Jan. 29, 2016, in Wilton, Iowa.
WILTON, IOWA — At a packed town hall meeting Friday night in rural eastern Iowa, an audience member asked Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz a simple question: If elected, who would be his first nomination to the Supreme Court?
Cruz’s answer, however, was a bit more complicated. Instead of saying who he would choose (“Not Obama” was the closest he came), the Texas Senator said changing the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court would be a huge priority for him as president — and that he would “spend whatever political capital is necessary” to appoint the most reliably conservative justices he could find.
repeating the same point: Republicans of the past have been too scared of political fights to appoint very right-wing justices. If he’s elected, he says, that will change.
“Many of the most liberal justices in this country — Earl Warren, Bill Brennan, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Harry Blackman, the author of Roe v. Wade — all of those were Republican appointees,” Cruz said. “And the reason is simple. Over and over again we keep electing Republican presidents for whom the court is not a priority. And when it comes to a nomination, they take the easy road out.”
Four of the current nine justices are over or near the age of 80 and and have served on the court for decades. It is likely, then, that the next president could have the opportunity to appoint multiple justices, and fundamentally change the ideological makeup of the highest court in the country.
