| They all had similar patterns. | |
| They had served in the executive branch. | |
| They had defended conservative principles. | |
| They defended constitutional principles. | |
| And here's the most critical part. | |
| They had been excoriated. | |
| They had been pounded in the press, and they hadn't given in. | |
| And that is a proven record under heat and under fire, I think, is the most important criteria. | |
| Republican presidents nominate stealth candidates who've never said or done anything, but someone says, trust me, trust me, they'll be great. | |
| Over and over again, they turn into train wrecks. | |
| God, you put it perfectly. | |
| I have said to my listeners for decades, the moment a person cares what the New York Times says about them, it is over. | |
| So you have put it in your way. | |
| If they have proven, if a judge has proven that he or she does not care what the media say about them, they will be a secure constitutionalist on the bench. | |
| Otherwise, probably not. | |
| You know, there's actually a syndrome that has been named after that, which is for a long time, the Supreme Court reporter at the New York Times was Linda Greenhouse. | |
| Right. | |
| And there was something they called the greenhouse effect, which is justices like Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor learned if they go left, if they vote with the left, they got praised in the New York Times. | |
| And the greenhouse effect consistently moved the court and the country left. | |
| And, I mean, one of the things I write in the book is we need Supreme Court justices that don't want to go to D.C. cocktail parties, that despise cocktail parties. | |
| To move to the left is enormous. | |
| I can't stop laughing and smiling because, you know, it's like a joy to hear truths. | |
| The book, folks, is so important. | |
| One Vote Away, How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, Ted Cruz's book. | |
| It is up at DennisPrager.com. | |
| It is not long. | |
| It is extremely interestingly written. | |
| And as I said, As you hear, really important. | |
| I have a lot to talk to Senator Cruz about and we will be back in a moment. |
