Ted Cruz: ‘The Best Choice’ Trump Could Make for SCOTUS Vacancy Would Be Mike Lee

‘Today is really an historic day’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "I think the single best choice that President Trump could make to fill this vacancy is Senator Mike Lee. I think he would be extraordinary. If you look back at Republican nominations to the court, Democrats have batted almost a 1000. Just about every nominee they put out there has voted the way they wanted on just about every single issue. Republicans at best bat 500. About half of the nominees Republican presidents have put on the court have turned into train wrecks, have turned into liberal activists. The reason why I think the best choice that President Trump could make is Mike Lee, is because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mike Lee would be faithful to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, that he is not going to evolve and turn into a David Souter. He is going to honor his commitment."
