Ted Cruz didn't mince words in Iowa Friday, predicting the U.S. is one liberal justice away from a reinterpretation of the Second Amendment, the demolition of veterans' memorials and Americans being subject to international criminal courts. "One more liberal Supreme Court justice and our right to keep and bear arms is taken away from us by an activist court," Cruz said. "One more liberal justice and they begin sandblasting and bulldozing veterans memorials throughout this country. One more liberal justice and we lose our sovereignty to the United Nations and the World Court." Campaigning in Iowa, Cruz laid into the current status of the nation's highest court, even calling for the justices to be popularly elected, the Des Moines Register reports <http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2015/10/23/cruz-clarinda-atlantic-stops/74404022/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin=> . By Washington Examiner Staff <http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/> • October 14, 2015 | 2:38 pm Cruz, a former Supreme Court clerk, has advocated for so-called "retention elections" before <http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/cruz-again-blasts-john-roberts-and-both-presidents-bush/article/2572459>. Instead of life tenure, Cruz thinks justices should be subject to periodic elections in order to stay on the court. "Every Supreme Court nominee they put forward votes like a radical, leftist nut case," Cruz said of Democratic Supreme Court nominees in September. Cruz is campaigning throughout Iowa this weekend, and is attempting to catch up to Ben Carson, now in first place <http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/carson-gains-steam-in-iowa/article/2574662?custom_click=rss> and a favorite among evangelicals, and second-place Donald Trump. __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYXYyc2YyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0NDU4ODI0MjI-> [image: Yahoo!
