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.

You have it backwards - he wants liberal judges who remove rights.

First of all, he can’t appoint anyone, he can only nominate. And after the dem controlled congress rejects them, he’d just throw his hands up and say “I tried, here’s another Ginsburg”.

He siezed property without due process. He’s notoriously anti Second Amendment.

That’s not law and order that’s Jackboot Socialism.

You can't be serious.

Rudy made NYC a sanctuary city against federal law. Rudy sued the federal government for the right to protect illegals which included terrorists. Rudy lost, twice, in court and when he did he vowed to continue the policy regardless of the law or the court's decisions. So much for "law and order".

Rudy had a pathetic record as mayor for appointing liberal judges, most of them Democrats. He appointed openly gay and ACLU backed judges. Rudy stated how he admired Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a Supreme Court Justice. So much for judicial appointments.

I'm not a Rudy fan either and I don't believe a word he says about judicial appointments. No President I can think of has deliberately appointed SC Justices who would definitely go against his agenda. I am not about to believe that "honest" Rudy would be the first.

If Rudy can peddle that one on his judicial appointments, there is no telling what else he can sell to the naive.

During this campaign Rudy has said that he believes that Roe v. Wade is based on a “CONSTITUTIONAL Right”. Rudy has also said that he could see a “Strict Constructionist Judge upholding Roe v. Wade”.

In Rudy’s world, Ruth Ginsberg could be a strict constructionist. And do you really think a man who has donated a ton of $$$ to NARL, will actually appoint judges you would undue the very thing Rudy and NARL has worked so hard to preserve. Not a chance. Rudy will nominate someone who claims not to be a “judicial activist” and then that person will vote to uphold Roe based on “precedent.”

Romney may be a liar, but unlike Rudy, he is at least claiming to be pro-life.

What kind of judges did Rudy actually appoint the last time he was in a position to appoint a judge? Oh, nevermind, that was then ... and this is now, right?
