I would have no problem with Rudy if there was a solid party discipline on HOR and Senate. Rudy can talk about gun control and gay whatever, just can't get it past the congress. What I would have a problem with would be his judicial nominations. That is the wild card that I'm just not willing to chance on a Rudy as President.

You have hit the nail on the head. If we have the congress I have no problems with Giuliani. But I am terrified of any Supreme Court nominee and any other judiciary appointments.
To: Ouderkirk
Your concerns mirror mine exactly. Conservatives in the House and Senate would temper any moves left, but jeez, I'd hate to undo the gains on the Supreme Court.
I'm re-thinking....The Senate would let almost anybody on the court, coming from Rudy, I suppose.

Supreme Court Justices!! Since these last few decisions, it has become my number one issue. All Rudy would have to say is "strict constructionist" and "states issues" on gay marriage and gun control.
(Damn that DeWhine, he has joined the "Brady Campaign".)

"What I would have a problem with would be his judicial nominations."
Obviously George W. Bush's two confirmed nominations are the BEST of any Republican President since WWII. I won't count Harriet.
So Rudi could do no worse than the average Republican Presidents, who have given us Stevens, Souter, Kennedy, O'Conner.
