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?
Huh?
TO PROTECT US FROM LIBERALS LIKE HIMSELF. /s
Well, at least that’s what his face is saying today.
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.
“It took Bill Clinton, a Democrat, to get control of the federal deficit.”
Stopped reading right there
Oh, yeah. That debt clock really was spinning backwards when the Master-Insink-abator was in office.

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?
That just may be the most ridiculous statement that I've ever read. What absolute horse manure.
I couldn’t support Rudy in good conscience. The man is the worst of the bunch, by far
Please!
You do know to post a “Barf Alert” in the title when positing pukeage like this, now don’t you?
MITT ROMNEY will be a much better conservative candidaate and will appoint conservative judges.
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.
Sorry Rudy - not buying your pandering here.
Sure. He had such a GOOD record in New York City.
This was a rational thought six months ago before Rudy tanked.
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.
No way, who needs Miguel Estrada or Ted Olson’s opinions?
Let’s go with McCain he campaigns against conservatives, but we just know he does not mean it!
(LOL)
Rudolph also made promises to his several wives.

How many times is this BS balloon going to be floated?
Dang me, dang me

Oh, Rooty don’t you try
for me.
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.
I’m still hoping for a couple of SC exits this spring. One can wish.
“Message to Religious Conservatives: Giuliani Would Appoint Solid Supreme Court Justices”
The man would pay for the murder of his own grandchild but he wouldn’t lie to get my vote. Is that what I’m supposed to swallow here?
I like Rudy better than Romney.
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.
This headline needs a barf alert.
Re-draft Duncan Hunter into the Presidential Race

If you believe this then I got a bridge to sell ya...
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.
What bull cr@p. Rudy will appoint pro-abortion judges and claim that they are strict constructionist because they follow the precedent set by “settled law”—like Roe v. Wade.
No sale.
Not voting for a baby-killer.
Under no circumstances will ever vote for Rudy or McCain
I look at PRIORITIES for this country. I think fighting terrorism is the #1 issue. Rudy seems to be in line with that more so than the rest of the RINOs we have to choose from. As far as SCOTUS appointments I’m scared of all of them.
There is no evidence to support this claim.
