By the way, while you're at it, provide a specific quote that Giuliani supported Ginsburg's appointment to the Supreme Court.

In contrast, Giuliani on Alito and Roberts:

“Republicans are united by our belief in going on offense to win the war on terror,” he wrote in a November 5 Real Clear Politics column. “Republicans stand for lower taxes; Democrats stand for higher taxes — it’s as simple as that,” he added. “The successful appointments of Justices Roberts and Alito are signs of promises kept,” Giuliani observed. “They are principled individuals who can be trusted to defend the original intent of the Constitution rather than trying to legislate their own political beliefs from the bench.” And, as Giuliani concluded, “the issues that unite us as Republicans are the same issues that unite the vast majority of Americans: a commitment to winning the war on terror; a core belief in fiscal conservatism; and a faith in individual freedom. Advancing these principles, while staying on offense, can help keep the GOP a strong majority party.”

Show me where Giuliani said anything more than the appointments were signs of promises kept by Bush to the Republican Party, and that their appointments would help the GOP. Show me where he said that he "promised" to appoint "strict constructionist" justices. Explain why he would support a "strict constructionist" view of the Constitution if he also supports Roe v. Wade and opposed the FMA.

By the way, while you're at it, provide a specific quote that Giuliani supported Ginsburg's appointment to the Supreme Court.

Show me where I EVER claimed that Giuliani supported Ginsburg's appointment to the Supreme Court.

By the way, here's a quote where Giuliani praises Ruth Bader Ginsburg and tries to equate her to Roberts:

"And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And he fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category.

I mean, she was — she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her."
