On an Austin talk radio show“It’s amazing to me how people can look you in the eye and then just tell you things that are not true or play dumb and act like they don’t know what you’re talking about,” Cornyn said.
Such nonresponses are typical for judicial nominees, who are not supposed to espouse personal views or indicate how they may rule on certain cases as a matter of ethics. But Cornyn also made multiple attempts to argue that Jackson called former President George W. Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld “war criminals.” The reference comes from when Jackson, in her role as a public defender, worked with Guantánamo Bay detainees.
Shame on them.
They're both so embarrassing
Time for those 2 self-serving, worthless, grifters to go!
Yeah, no shit. Please tell me the staff at the Tribune are not so credulous to think a no vote was anything but a foregone conclusion.
Sad
Ted Cruz: “hi im from Canada, but I represent rural West Texas(oil)” CONMAN
Cornyn & Cruz are part of decaying GOP leadership in our democracy. Ketanji Brown Jackson demonstrated incredible composure as GOP senators, including C & C, heaped lie after lie about her record, legitimate issues in which we attempt to honestly discuss, in their questions.
Ted “Spitshine” Cruz 💩 represents my state in the august body of the US Senate 🤦♂️🇺🇸😳 .
Well they're garbage people so we can't be surprised.
They were voting against her before the hearing began and showed their a**es during the hearing, especially Cruz.
Of course they are. They support death to Texans: 88,500+COVID; 4K yrly suicide; 3,647 avg yrly gun deaths. VoteBlueToStayAlive
At this point, it's not news or reportable that our Senators are white supremacists.
As expected, they are party first.
Count on them to do the wrong thing every single time.
Texas You voted them in and you can vote them out.

TedCruzIsARacist TedCruzIsAnAsshole
Does Ted have a good excuse? Does it involve children’s books?
Have either of our illustrious senators offered comments about Clarence Thomas' wife?
Of course she’s too smart
I'm poised to continue voting against tedcruz JohnCornyn Y Fuera!
They both vote with their bank accounts not their souls.
If Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson had matched the QAnonCult -ers CorruptCornyn & CorruptCruz Oil & Gas/NRA/Putin/Koch Portfolio Deposits, john & rafael may have kept quiet a bit longer & surprised us w/their votes against her until the actual day of voting.🙄
The majority of Republicans will follow McTurtle and trump.
Anyone shocked by this, say, 'Aye!'
Fascist attention whores gonna be fascist attention whores
That, and quotes from their Nazi word-salad interviews of Judge Jackson, will make great campaign fodder against those 2 poseurs.
CruzIsADisgrace
In other news, water is wet.
I would to! If the top judge refuses her womanhood she cannot seat and pontificate for straight women or straight man, this women is all cought up in transgender! Not suitable! If she cant tell you were babies come from!or born from!no gender judge? No thanks
How is this even considered news?
Criminals going to love this type of trash
So sad that the two Republican Senators from Texas don’t or won’t recognize Judge Jackson’s brilliance! Judge Jackson demonstrated the highest levels of poise, dignity, intelligence, and talent. I will celebrate when she is confirmed! Bravo!
She's an activist, and no matter her race, or her political alignment, we do not want an activist on the Supreme Court! The Supreme Court is supposed to be neutral, following the rule of law in its decisions.
And their reason for not voting for her is because she is a Black woman...
The world’s shittiest senators.
A couple of Punks…Bullies…Grandstanding…trying to sound qualified to Interrogate
She couldn't even comment on the Dredd Scott Decision when asked about it. Seriously? I hope she's not confirmed.
We already knew they were going to do this, what would be newsworthy if they were actually intelligent and voted for her confirmation
This is exactly why we need these guys out of office! There to busy trying to represent the wrong Texans.
Her feature n experience fits district court. Supreme Court has a structural difference comparing with district court. Thanks for Judge Jackson’s excellent performance in the past few days. Her service will benefit the community greater in district court.
Sad she was nominated solely because of sex and race what happened to not looking at either and nominating for qualifications only?
I still don't understand how the GOP gets any black, women or black women votes.
I have no confidence in the confirmation process. Democrats and republicans are shameful. They hate each other and I don’t understand how it got that bad. Judge Barrett got treated bad too. We need to get this country back on track for the good of America!
Ha! Good.
And Texas voters are poised to vote those two useless puppets out.
Good. Very rarely does that matter at all, so who cares?!? 🤣🤣
We all know they can't bear a woman in a position of power; an African American woman is sending them over the edge.
Of course, Cruz wouldn't vote for his wife if she were nominated by the president, and Cornyn is glued to Mitch McConnell's hip.
Do Ted Cruz and John Cornyn represent the values of the people of Texas? If so, I am ashamed for your state and VERY glad I don’t live there. If not, why do you allow them to remain in office?
I loved her as a woman, despite the fact she couldn’t say what that was but I’m embarrassed her as a SCOTUS nominee who likes sexual predators & I know I’m to be hunted down by angry Dems. She’s like Amy Coney Barrett without explanations & riots in her name. I’m terrified
She hasn’t committed enough sexual harassment or assault to earn widespread GOP support.
Of course the misogynistic racists are going to vote against a black woman.
Oh no
Cornyn & Cruz are only embarrassing themselves.
And… give me the news captain obvious
Duh
No surprise!
Of course they are!
pollyannathibo1 And both remain silent on the Thomas revelations, casting a shadow on any pieties they spew about the sanctity and honor of the court.
Just one more reason to vote Repubs at all levels of goverment OUT. BOTH TX SENATORS NEED TO REMEMBER US VOTERS WON'T FORGET OR FORGIVE THEIR VOTE IN THIS
Dear God!
The same people who declare the US is not a racist country prove it is a racist country with their words and actions.
Another day, another embarrassment for Texas…
Now please tell me something I don’t already know
And they will not have a good reason. Just to be the typically pieces of waste they are. They do this with no shame
We all knew they would. All that political theater.
To no ones surprise.
We knew that before the hearings began.
Wow! Big freaking surprise!
Good. Shes soft on pedophiles, and cant even define what a 'woman' is...she has no business on the SC.
No shit.
That is not news in Texas
Add McConnell to your list. Yet, the GOP confirmed Kavanaugh.
GOP is DOA.
They've gone full-on QAnon. Gag.
I’m shocked. Oops no I’m not.
Way to show your interest in a united America regardless of race, gender or upbringing…
Surprising no one.
Once again....acting on their own self interest.
FireCruz FireCornyn FireAbbott first.
No surprise here.
We know Cruz is not better than that, and we hope Cornyn was…we should vote them out.
That is their prerogative...
But both of them have NO problem with the Texas AG being under felony indictment. Wonder why...
Was there any doubt that they would. The political theater they put on to get on camera is how they spew their propaganda and lies.
She did blow a few questions about women and her record with weak child abuser conviction sentences
I am poised to vote for neither Cronyn nor Cruz.
John Cornyn has issues with WOC, especially intelligent one’s.
You’re kidding.
Their racism is showing.
Quelle surprise.
She too dark
They were never going to vote for a black woman.
Ya, we knew that weeks ago.
Not surprising, since they’re White Nationalists.
I'm not sure this fits any definition of news
Huge surprise
JESUS CHRIST what is wrong with her?
And water is wet
