Cruz: Supreme Court Justices ‘Put on Obama Jersey’

‘They stopped being an umpire — they became a player on a team - they put on an Obama jersey’

CRUZ: "Well, it— it is the justices who have politicized the Court. They are the ones who have stepped in to try to resolve every policy matter. They shouldn’t be rewriting ObamaCare. You know, Chief Justice Roberts famously used the analogy of an umpire calling balls and strikes. Well, they stopped being an umpire. They became a player on a team. They put on an Obama jersey. They got out the eraser, they erased terms in the statute and rewrote it, joining the Obama administration. That was wrong. And th— and that’s why I reluctantly called for a Constitutional amendment for periodic judicial retention elections."
