Senator Cruz is protecting Americans.

[@Hoss2024-l2b]

These kinds of judges with atrocious records favor the criminal over the victim and other wicked candidates. Still get the position, and our country continually gets worse and worse.NOTHING GETS BETTER.

@Forbes your bottom banner "SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HOLDS A CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR JUDICIAL NOMINEES" should be changed to the specific day's nominee and who is questioning since the banner covers-up the nominee's table name board. Thank you again for dating the hearings! I really appreciate that because it may have been due to notice of my request.

That judge needs to be fired, and the other lady needs life in prison

[@stacybry29]

Ted Cruz has never shy'd away from confrontation. A great Senator and someone who loves his country and state to the utmost.

[@gwenjones7249]

Yeah and he ran away when his state was in trouble he sure made sure he was safe to hell with the safety of his voters

[@UPyours-q8h]

I wish one Republican would stand up for the citizens of the United States of America and tell these so-called nominees that want to be put on a federal bench screw up one time will put you on them in a man's prison for the rest of your life now do you want to change your way of thinking

I have cowboyed a bit in my day. Lots of alone time. Lots of time to think. You start to see things, big things that you can't see when you constantly look through the microscope of the moment. Never had much use for politicians, still don’t. Always thought they were a pack of lying skunks, still do. Always had the good fortune to work and ride with decent and honest men and women. Now days, when I look out my window, I see my Country on Her knees. She has become gravely ill and I fear losing Her. Never thought this could happen. Guess I have to say now that this is part my fault. Never voted much and when I did, never looked real close. I figured other people smarter than me would make the right choice and then keep a close eye on things to make sure it was done right. Can’t say their choice was wrong, but like me, they didn’t keep a close eye. I started to take a closer look after that terrible day in September when the Towers fell. I hated what I saw and began to look back so I could see ahead. Seems to me after President Kennedy was killed, things started getting bad. I can’t fault any one man for where We find Ourselves today. Guess it is more of all Our fault for trusting men and women who We gave power to and then looking away. These few men and women are now consumed with an unbridled lust for money, power, control and fame. Not sure if any of them really work for the People anymore. What I see now is America heading for a hard, hard fall if things don’t get turned around. By now, this should be fairly obvious to anyone paying the least bit of attention. There may be no way to stop the storm which comes Our way and We all should prepare as best We can. Until common men and women of good character are elected from the lowest to the highest positions, things cannot improve, they can only get worse. We now find Ourselves in an election cycle. I would encourage all Americans to educate themselves on their upcoming choices and view with a critical eye the choices already made. I hope the time has not passed to leave America a better place than We found it. Thank You for Your time and consideration.

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2: 9-11.
