In One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, out this week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he told President Trump at the start of the administration he was not interested in being appointed to the Supreme Court, Axios reports.
Writes Cruz: “Though I hold judges in the highest esteem, there’s a simple reason why I don’t want to be a judge: principled judges stay out of policy and political fights…. But I don’t want to stay out of policy and political fights. I want to lead them.”
