He is smart. That's why he is popular. That's why he will win.

Do you think he's smart enough to appoint Mario Cuomo to the SCOTUS?

Eeeewww ... wash your keyboard with soap, guy.

he'd put Cuomo on the SCOTUS you say.

here's a transcript of Ed Koch speaking about Rudy, note the section I pulled out about a dispute in NY over a judge's ruling.

http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/forum/Koch.html

"NEW YORK SUPREME COURT JUDGE HELEN FREEDMAN WAS RECENTLY THE SUBJECT OF GIULIANI'S DEMEANING LANGUAGE IN HIS EFFORT TO TERRORIZE HER AFTER SHE RULED IN FAVOR OF THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY'S HOMELESS FAMILY RIGHTS PROJECT, LED BY COORDINATING ATTORNEY STEVEN BANKS, IN THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY'S ONGOING CASE AGAINST THE CITY.

GIULIANI, ACCORDING TO THE POST, SAID FREEDMAN HAS BEEN ISSUING "IRRATIONAL ORDERS" TO MAYORS FOR 13 YEARS. "IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE STEP ASIDE," HE SAID. CONTINUING, "ANY JUDGE THAT HOLDS A CASE FOR A DECADE OR MORE SHOULD GET OFF THE CASE BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY BECOME THE PURVEYORS OF POLICY RATHER THAN DECIDERS OF CASES THAT COME BEFORE THEM." HE VICIOUSLY AND PERSONALLY ATTACKED FREEDMAN -- AND SAID, "SHE ISN'T RULING ON THE LAW, SHE'S RULING ON HER OWN PERSONAL IDEOLOGY." IF THAT WERE S0, SHE WILL BE REVERSED ON APPEAL"

does that sounds like a person who supports liberal judicial activism on the bench?

Do you think we're smart enough to prevent him from appointing Mario Cuomo to the SCOTUS (assuming he would try)? Or was Harriet Myes just a fluke-thing?
