Ted Cruz (R-TX) has issued an unmistakable response to renewed talk that President Donald Trump could nominate him to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His answer: \u201cNot just no, but hell no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cruz delivered the fiery rejection during an appearance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gokBWpUzHTk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cHang Out with Sean Hannity\u201d podcast<\/a>, making clear that he would rather remain in the political arena than trade the Senate for a lifetime appointment to the nation\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo look, my answer is not just no, but hell no,\u201d Cruz told Hannity. \u201cAnd listen, I don\u2019t say that lightly. I mean, it\u2019s a big deal. The court is an institution I revere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cruz acknowledged that his refusal may surprise those familiar with his legal career, much of which unfolded in and around the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of people are surprised because I\u2019ve spent an awful lot of my professional life around the court, in the court,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd for so many people, it is their life dream to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cruz Wants To Stay In The Fight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Texas Republican explained that serving as a federal judge would require him to step away from the political and policy battles that have defined his Senate career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause a principled federal judge stays out of politics and stays out of policy fights,\u201d Cruz said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ted-cruz-shuts-down-trump-supreme-court-talk-fiery-not-just-no-but-hell-no?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That restraint appears to be precisely what makes the position unappealing to Cruz. Although he expressed deep respect for the court, his comments suggest he prefers fighting publicly for conservative priorities rather than weighing cases from behind the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cruz also called Trump a \u201cgood friend,\u201d signaling that his rejection was aimed at the job\u2014not the president who has repeatedly floated his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump Keeps Floating His Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has long praised Cruz\u2019s legal credentials, even after their famously bruising battle for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a Washington event in January, Trump called Cruz a \u201cbrilliant legal mind\u201d before joking that a Cruz nomination could produce a rare unanimous Senate vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf I nominate him for the U.S. Supreme Court, I will get 100% of the vote,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThe Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out too,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/politics\/texas-take\/article\/donald-trump-says-get-ted-cruz-supreme-court-21320121.php?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Houston Chronicle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The joke drew laughs, but Trump\u2019s interest has not always been hypothetical. He placed Cruz among 20 potential Supreme Court nominees on his 2020 shortlist, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2020\/09\/09\/ted-cruz-supreme-court-donald-trump\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas Tribune reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, Cruz called the consideration \u201chumbling\u201d and \u201can immense honor,\u201d but emphasized that he expected to continue defending Texans and constitutional liberties in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His latest answer leaves considerably less room for speculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A R\u00e9sum\u00e9 Built For The Court<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On paper, Cruz possesses many of the qualifications normally associated with a Supreme Court contender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and graduated from Harvard Law School before clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz later served as Texas solicitor general, arguing eight cases before the Supreme Court in that role and a ninth after returning to private practice, according to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/about-ted?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official Senate biography<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He entered the Senate in 2013 and has since built a national profile as one of the chamber\u2019s most aggressive conservative voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cruz clearly reveres the Supreme Court. He simply does not want to join it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if Trump ever formally asks, the Texas senator has already prepared his answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
