Connecting Justin Trudeau and Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Justin Trudeau
They bonded while driving back to Montreal after a debate tournament at Princeton University, in which the Princeton team included Ted Cruz, who would go on to be elected a U.S. senator for Texas in 2013 and be candidate for the U.S. Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2016.
Ted Cruz
American politician (born 1970)
In September 2020, less than two months before the next presidential election, Cruz supported an immediate vote on Trump's nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy caused by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.
Donald Trump
Five weeks before the November 2020 election, Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Justin Trudeau
Earlier that same day U.S. first lady Pat Nixon had come to see him in his nursery to deliver a gift, a stuffed toySnoopy.
Pat Nixon
Former First Lady of the United States (1969-1974)
Pat has been portrayed by Joan Allen in the 1995 film '' Nixon'' (for which Allen earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress), Patty McCormack in the 2008 film '' Frost/Nixon'' and Nicole Sullivan in the 2009 film '' Black Dynamite''. She was sung by soprano Carolann Page in John Adams' opera '' Nixon in China'' 1987 world premiere in Houston, Texas; a ''New York Times'' critic noted that the performance captured "the First Lady's shy mannerisms" while one from the '' Los Angeles Times'' described the subject as the "chronically demure First Lady".
John Adams (composer)
American composer (born 1947)
It is a powerful and important opera." A week after watching a Met performance of the opera, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said "there was nothing anti-Semitic about the opera," and characterized the portrayal of the Klinghoffers as "very strong, very brave", and the terrorists as "bullies and irrational".
Justin Trudeau
For the first time since 1979, the party that garnered the largest share of the national popular vote did not win the most seats; the Liberals under Trudeau had 33.1 per cent of the popular vote, while the Conservatives under Andrew Scheer had 34.4 per cent.
Andrew Scheer
Scheer considered former prime minister John Diefenbaker and British member of the European Parliament (MEP) Daniel Hannan as political influences. Scheer described U.S. senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio as "strong conservative voices" during the 2016 Manning Center Conference.
Marco Rubio
I would say that even if it was a Republican president." In September 2020, Rubio applauded Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the court after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, voting to confirm her on October 26, 86 days before the expiration of Trump's presidential term.
