I’m not a Rudy fan either but I do believe he’d be ok on judicial appointments. He was a tough-on-crime prosecutor and as such is going to want strict-constructionist judges.

Really now why should I ‘’’’’’believe’’’’’???? Rudy does not live under conservatism why would he want that rule of law?

It took Bill Clinton, a Democrat, to get control of the federal deficit.

Huh?

Rudy will not be President so the idea is merely fanciful speculation which, in all sincerity, I doubt. He will not appoint ‘soild conservatives’ because that’ll upset the NYC liberals too much.

Sorry Mr. Lib but that's not true. Clinton was NEVER for a balanced budget. A new conservative congress elected in '94 forced a budget on Clinton in order to deal with the deficit. Clinton's last proposed budget called for $200 billion deficits. When the Republican plan actually worked, Clinton tried to take credit for the plan he fought tooth and nail against.

It took a conservative Congress to get control of the federal deficit...boy, couldn't we use that now

I don't trust for a minute that Rudy would appoint strict constructionist judges...Rudy either doesn't understand the US Constitution and the limited powers the federal government has...or he doesn't care

How else to explain the fact that, in 1993, he met with President Clinton to push for national gun registration? How else to explain that Rudy was a vocal supporter of the Brady Bill (which he claimed didn't go far enough)? How else to explain that Rudy supported the federal ban on certain semi-automatic firearms?

I think Mr. Giuliani will be the most effective advocate for the pro-life cause precisely because he is unreligious and a supporter of abortion rights.

That just may be the most ridiculous statement that I've ever read. What absolute horse manure.

I would look to Giuliani’s strengths for who he might appoint.

For example, he is a big fan of policemen. Therefore, I wouldn’t look to any appointment to be drafting new Miranda rights soon. Most likely tough as nails on L&O issues.

Second, look to what he did to Times Square. This would possibly mean that he would fully support the Kelo decision for eminent domain. Guiliani like gentrification.

Third, relations with Mexico would pick up, as they hired him for advice on how to fix Mexico City. This could impact illegal immigration, trade, the drug war and gangs.

I don’t know if Rudy will be able to recover his campaign or not, but I do think he means it when he says he would appoint strict constructionist judges. I don’t see any reason to doubt it.

But in the real world, it doesn’t matter what the next President thinks about abortion. Whether pro-life or pro-abortion the President will have no effect on the number of abortions performed.

Uh, I am done. He would also go for taxpayer funded abortion, even said he would pay for one for his own daughter. He would march in front of the NAMBLA banner, he would not even try to protect marriage, he has proven he will go for gun grabbing, he has a personal life that resembles a sleazy soap opera etc.

I could add to that, but I am busy.

Since Rudy will never be president, it’s all moot and irrelevant. I am struck by the notion that a person can say they’re “not confident” that abortion represents, at the very least, a killing, but a murder because it is done for no other cause than convenience. Once unimagineable advances in medical technology have, as far as I can see, made such mythical fancies nothing more than positions taken without information. “Opinions” or “confidence” (or lack thereof) which are not supported by available scientific evidence are meaningless.

It’s not just the Supreme Court that will be liberalized under Hillary/Obama but much of the federal judiciary. In their eight previous years the Clinton’s also stacked vast areas of the executive branch with partisan hacks and crippled the military and intelligence agencies.

No that's not true. The Republicans' era of the "Contract With America" was what brought the deficit down.

Rudy wouldn’t know a constructionist judge if he met one. Since Rudy has no clue about the constitution (especially where gun rights are concerned), how would he know if a judge is a constructionist, or not?

As for those who say he has good advisors... again, how would he know?

He made New York safe they say. Bahgdad was safe under Saddam (or so we are told). Police states usualy do have safe streets.

When defending his anti-2d amendment record on the Hannity show he clearly stated, on two separate occasions, that gun-control was a “states rights issue”. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Bill of Rights. But I am supposed to believe he will know a constructionist judge when he sees one and then stand behind that nomination when the Dems give him both barrels.

Not buying it.

It doesn’t take a constitution to respect life. And apparently, the best constitition ever written can’t protect the most innocent blood from a government of evil and corrupt men, answerable to no one but God, determined to sacrifice it.

My rank on who I want to make Judicial Appointments:

1. Huckabee
2. Romney
3. Rudy
4. McCain
5. Obama
6. Hillary

On Judicial Appointments, the only area I like Huckabee over the others. On the war on terror, taxes, trade, global warming, I put him just a notch above Obama.

I really coulda gone for Giuliani early out. But then and went he said that he was pro-abortion-licentiousness in the same breath he said he was a strict constructionist. Anyone who would say that is too much an idiot to get my vote, even if I didn’t disagree with him on moral grounds.

Rudy Giuliani is done, but I guess that he doesn’t know that yet. As soon as he frequently defended being pro-choice, starting last year, he seriously killed his chances of ever becoming POTUS.

Nothing Rudy has done in his past inspires the least bit of confidence that Rudy will appoint strict constructionist judges, or that he would want to. Besides, he will be dealing with a Democrat majority in the Senate. He might appoint some decent judges, just to make the claim that he tried, but you can bet his backup appointments would be considerably more liberal. ...But, this is all wasted energy. Rudy will be dropping out of this race soon. The Mittwits may hand Rudy his head in Florida.
