Cruz to propose amendment to subject SCOTUS justices to election after 8 years

[CountryClassSF]

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are being called out by the pro-family community for giving up on marriage.  You cannot claim to support traditional marriage and then present no action on how to enact it.

Ted Cruz presents action.  Scott Walker, Santorum, etc. These will be the candidates that we conservatives will consider for the nomination.

I think what he's proposing are retention elections.  It's what we do in California. After a certain number of years, all appointees face a retention election for the higher courts, a yes or no  vote.
Some of the lower courts are elected positions but still involve/could involve gubernatorial appointments.

I think it's an interesting idea. The advantages are that the people can remove someone from the court . The disadvantage is that it may persuade the justices to rule in a certain way based on popular opinion rather than the law.

The Supreme Court's role is not to legislate.  And they legislated thrice this week. Kagan and Ginsburg should face impeachment for non-recusal.

Judges who have conflicts of interests and refuse to recuse should be removed from the bench by either voters or Congress. It shouldn't require 2/3rds.

Kagan and Ginsburg have usurped the dignity of office

Officiating a "marriage" like that implies and equates support. Period.  It is a direct case of bias. They should face impeachment.

Your idea of justice is unelected officials creating a right that never existed, at the expense of Christian religious freedom.


Any and all GOP candidates that do not support a constitutional amendment will not receive support from the pro-family community. Primary or general.

Tell that to Baronelle Stutzman. Tell that to the Little Sisters of the Poor. Tell that to them.  You not only desire equality under the law, you now seek to destroy anyone who has a different view.

Are we going to let someone derail yet another thread?

I am not a mod, but might I suggest we, dunno, maybe stick to the politics of the "2016 U.S. Presidential Election"? Being that this is the " 2016 U.S. Presidential Election" board?

Can't we just ignore the nonsense?

Wasn't aware of the asterisk that showed that only Cruz haters opinions were welcome
