Texas senator Ted Cruz put his opposition to the president’s pending Supreme Court nominee in the starkest terms yet, saying he would filibuster any name the White House submitted.
“Absolutely. This should be a decision for the people,” Cruz said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. “We’ve got an election, and Democrats — I cannot wait to stand with Hillary Clinton or with Bernie Sanders, and take the case to the people. What vision of the Supreme Court do you want? Let the election decide. If the Democrats want to replace [Justice Antonin Scalia], they need to win the election.”
