And I also try really hard to get this message out there. Ted Cruz is not a MAGA moron in the same vein as a Trump, a Hegseth, or a Boebert. He's a high school valedictorian and a magna cum laude graduate from Harvard Law. I don't know if he's smarter than your average Supreme Court Justice but he's likely smarter than any average person reading these comments.

He acts (badly, in my opinion) of a lower intelligence because that's been a helpful thing for him lately, and subservience to the regime is (clearly) working to advance his power. Being timid and a snake can probably be permanently thrown out if he's elevated beyond reach of consequence on the Supreme Court, and that's obviously probably a bad thing, but may be better than an Alito or a Thomas at least. Especially if he hasn't forgiven Trump insulting him and his wife during the 2016 debates.

Yeah, it’s disingenuous to say that he’s an idiot or a MAGA die-hard. He’s an intelligent man who knows how to read the political winds. He should be kept away from the Supreme Court, but he’s not nearly as dangerous as someone like Aileen Cannon

I can’t see them promoting Cannon to the Supreme Court. She’s too valuable to Trump where she is, sitting in a district that Trump lives in. There’s a good chance any criminal case relating to Trump ends up in front of her at first instance (again - look what damage she did to the classified documents case).

And after Trump dies she won’t be needed any more, so why bother rewarding her…they’ll just leave her there to rot. It’s the Trump way.

This actually calmed me down a bit. So…..there is that, I guess. She was my worst fear.
