The only influence that the President has on abortion is by virtue of his role in appointing Supreme Court justices. I think Rudi would appoint conservative justices, irrespective of his views on abortion. He supported Alito and Roberts. That's good enough for me.
I agree. Sure, "Patton" would be great, but he's dead. There is no Patton, no Reagan waiting in the wings. If a President Rudi would appoint strict constructionist judges, and leave state matters to the states, he'd be OK in my book. We're going to have to learn to take what we can get, rather than go down in defeat because a candidate was not "Patton".
More than worth repeating, this is the bottom line.
