Giuliani-Appointed Judges Tend to Lean to the Left (50 Dems, 6 Republicans)

The Politico ^ | 3/1/07

[Mr. Brightside]

I'm, shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

[TommyDale]

I often wonder just how "tough" Rudy Giuliani really was on crime in New York. How many plea bargains did he accept to get a "conviction" in comparison to other federal prosecutors? There must be some statistics out there somewhere.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Wonder how far to the left Hildabeast's judges will be? Any hard core conservative out there that can beat Hildabeast?

[FreeInWV]

If he gets elected, our judiciary will become a joke.

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I doubt if Rudy had may good judges to choose from in NYC.

McCain maybe? /sarc

[adaven]

Though at least 50 of his 75 appointees were registered Democrats (only six were registered Republican)

Yeah, I guess the do "tend" to lean to the left.

Unfortunately for Rudy, conservatives are not as dumb as he and the msm think they are. We follow the excellent advice of Jesus, "By their fruits you shall know them." (Matt. 7:16) There is a lot of rotten fruit in this politician's past.

Not so sure about that....Many conservatives will stay away from their candidate if they don't like him or her, the dims always support their candidate, no matter what.

I wish that some of you given to bashing Mr. Guiliani would put his mayoral service in context. He was mayor of New York, not of Dallas. There are no elected Republicans in NYC, and the population of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens is almost exclusively composed of Democrats. Had he tried to nominate even a majority of Republicans for judgeships in New York, he would have been shot down repeatedly, leaving an already strained judicial system in crisis. He chose to govern rather than tilt at windmills - that's what leaders do. I have significant differences of opinion with the man - but he is not a "liberal" in any modern sense of the word, and I think he deserves a fair hearing.

"There are no elected Republicans in NYC"

Don't tell that to all the elected Republicans in NYC.

[proudpapa]

Yes there is one!

Duncan Hunter can get the job done.

Plus we won't have to worry about conservatives sitting out.

I for one will not vote Rudy McRomney. And there are many more like me. As much as I don't like Hillary. I dislike voting for a rino.

[Aria]

Well said! Thanks!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Apparently there is some vast untapped supply of conservative jurists in NYC. If it was a choice between liberal judges or no judges, I don't see how he had a choice.

[Barrett 50BMG]

"(50 Dems, 6 Republicans)"

We are talking about NY here. Look at what he has to choose from. LOL

[AxelPaulsenJr]

How does Duncan poll against Hildabeast?

I dislike voting for a rino.

Unfortunately that kind of thinking gave us 8 years of Slick Willie.

"If he gets elected, our judiciary will become a joke"

You obviously have no idea how federal judges are nominated. It's Republicans SENATORS (or senior reps if there are no Senators) who submit the names of district and appellate judges for the presidents to consider. The president only really pick Supreme Court judges on his own, and the bargain Giuliani has made with conservatives is that he will select Scalia-type judges. He is known as a man of his word- besides, he can't afford a third-party run by conservatives when he seeks reelection.

[Unicorn]

That sounds about right.
