While in Ohio, Rudy called into the Bill Cunningham radio show. Speaking about the Supreme Court, Rudy said: "Justices Roberts and Alito were both colleagues of mine [in the Reagan Justice Department] - people I worked with and I admire tremendously. I thought that they were inspired choices that the President made - inspired in many ways, because they also were people who had a strong conservative background and strict constructionists." He added, "Justice Scalia was also a colleague of mine...and he probably would have been my choice for Chief Justice.

I've discussed this quote before. Giuliani does not promise to appoint "strict constructionist" judges in this quote. He praises 3 of his colleagues, 2 from his days in the justice department. He praised the President for making a good political choice.

Why don't you wait to hear what he has to say then. If none of these quotes (including the ones that you put up) are to your satisfaction and don't answer your question, why not wait until he is asked. Because you know that he will be asked!
