Rudy may be a social liberal, but he is a law enforcement guy. If, as he has said, he likes judges like Scalia and Alito, he would appoint similar candidates to the federal bench. America needs a leader at this critical time in our history who can explain to the American people how important it is that we win this war against Islamofacism. If we do not, the social issues that are so dear to all of us conservatives become irrelevant when faced with the prospect of living under Sharia law.
Rudy was a federal prosecutor and he did his job in that capacity. Crime rates came down while Rudy was Mayor and he deserves credit for that. Crimes rates also came down under Mayor Dinkins, and are lower today under Mayor Bloomberg then they were under Mayor Giuliani. That doesn't mean conservatives will run out and vote for Dinkins or Bloomberg, anymore then they'd vote for Giulinai.
>>>>>If, as he has said, he likes judges like Scalia and Alito, he would appoint similar candidates to the federal bench.
Rudy also said that Ruth Bader Ginsberg is his type of justice too.
COLMES: Now, Roe vs. Wade -- You are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...
GIULIANI: That is not the critical factor. 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.
In this answer, Rudy offers his criteria for a good SCOTUS justice. 1. "very intelligent" 2."very honest" 3. "very good lawyer". It's Rudy`s opinion that both CJ Roberts and J Ginsburg fit into that category. Frankly, I'm convinced that Giuliani would be more satisfied with a Lawrence Tribe or a George Mitchell on the SC, then a Constitutional conservative like Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas.
>>>>America needs a leader at this critical time in our history ...
Agreed. America needs conservative leadership, not liberal leadership.
