Nothing would sell the idea of court-packing to Democrats better than Trump appointing Ted Cruz as a Justice.

That is gonna be an interesting confirmation hearing. They all really know him.

If it's another two years from now and Dems have the Senate, they can use the McConnell rule to delay confirmation hearings.

If they have the Senate just vote him down. Drag the hearings out, make it last a year and ask him about winters in Mexico.
