Worse than Willie PING

Eisenhouer - Warren
Ford - Stevens
HW Bush - Souter

All you can say is that it is unlikely the Presidents who nominated these men were happy with what the got.

What do you think Hillary would do?

[P-40]

They sure look a lot alike...and you never see them together...

[MBB1984]

Judicial appointments are suspect for conservative Presidents (ala O'Connor and Kennedy) and highly suspect for moderate/conservative presidents (Souter). Since this is an issue where we often fail to get it right, I would never trust a social liberal.

Would Giuliani Nominate a Judge Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

I doubt it, I don't think an RBG type would be liberal enough for him.

[Tarnsman]

Judges appointed by Hillary will be much, much worse. Remember that when you are chanting "Purity over Victory!"

[Always Right]

This is a tough issue for Giuliani to overcome. Especially with the court loaded with 4 young Conservatives and 5 very much older liberals. Electing a conservative makes the possibility of a conservative court very likely during the next term. This is much more than about one issue as Giuliani fans like to poo-poo about.

Ginsburg, isn't she in favor of international law and....let me go check something. brb

What do you think Hillary would do?

Appoint many of the same kind of judges Guiliani would. Either way, our Constitution is screwed.

It's a very good question. I keep seeing Rudy supporters state that Giuliani has "pledged" to appoint justices like Scalia, Roberts, and Alito, but he has done nothing of the kind.

He has praised their qualifications, but he has never articulated anything other than some boiler plate about "strict constructionism". Since he supports Roe, McCain-Feingold and takes a very unconstructionist view of the second amendment I can't imagine why anyone would feel secure about his picks.

Hope not.

Dear Always Right,

Actually, Justice Scalia is no longer a young man. I believe that he will be 71 this year.

"Lots of Republicans supported her."

A sad/pathetic fact.

[Mr. Brightside]

Would Giuliani Nominate a Judge Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Yes, he would

[BackInBlack]

Purity over victory? Excuse us for wanting a straightforward pro-lifer in the White House. I never realized that an electoral death wish -- and neither did the last several Republican presidents, all of whom have been pro-life in one form or another.

[Hydroshock]

I doubt it. It doe s nto get much more liberal then Rino Rudy.

Here we go.

When Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered a speech to the South African Constitutional Court on Feb. 7, 2006, she spoke of the need for national courts to incorporate international law—or as she put it, foreign decisional law—in the measures being debated by those courts. Ginsburg, who indicated that international law was acquiring a real position in the decision-making process of the US Supreme Court in 2004, noted that the

IIRC, Rudy got to appoint some judges in NYC, and they were NOT models of conservatism or "strict constructionist" jurisprudence.
