The Democrats have been working hard to redefine “infrastructure” to mean pretty much anything, and the term “court-packing” is also being given a new definition. Sen. Ted Cruz was approached this week by a law student, and apparently his Georgetown Law professor was pretty impressed:

One of my students came across Ted Cruz's anti-Court-packing press conference and naturally gave him hell … https://t.co/XBbmY0QEM7

And by “gave him hell” he means “repeat Democrat talking points that don’t square up with reality”:
I assumed he was a Dem tracker reciting talking points.
Not sure what’s more embarrassing: that he’s an actual law student who doesn’t know the difference btwn filling vacancies & packing the Court.
Or that his law prof is proud of his ignorance & thinks it’s “giving me hell.” https://t.co/1TYl7041wQ

Cruz wasn’t alone:
“Check out my poorly-educated student getting owned by Ted Cruz.” https://t.co/YQVl32W84D

You're bragging about your student not knowing the difference between court-packing and filling vacancies. Not sure I'd brag about that.

My dude. Adding seats to the Supreme Court and filling judicial vacancies as obligated by the Constitution are entirely different. Your students, as future practitioners of the law, should know this.

Not sure where the “hypocrisy” is. There is an explicit difference between filling vacant seats and *adding* seats. Sigh.

Not sure I'd brag about a law student who doesn't know the difference there.

“Owning yourself to own the cons,” or something.
