Rudy: Presidents generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them.

FOX News ^ | July 20, 2005 | Hannity & Colmes

[Ol' Sparky]

I can't comprehend why a prominent conservative like Sean Hannity and others can't understand that a pro-abortion candidate like Giulinai wouldn't nomination originalists to the court. Hannity has become one of the Kool-Aid drinkers he always criticizes.

Make that "McCain-Feingold-THOMPSON."

The enemies of the First Amendment are realizing McCain's dead, and are moving towards running Johnnie-boy's bosom buddy, Fred Thompson.

[TAdams8591]

"The man is an admitted abortionist and he most definitely will appoint abortionists to the court! He believes in "a woman's RIGHT to choose" and that Roe vs Wade is constitutional."

Definitely. To see it otherwise really is delusional.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Rudy SAID he would appoint SC Justices like Roberts and Scalia

I'm convinced!

YES! The SC Justices he would appoint would be human, breathe oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide and have been born since 1900.

JUST LIKE Roberts and Scalia.

Yes! Vote early and often for Rudy!

I'm convinced!

Cheers!

And, in addition to all that, Rudy SUCKS!

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

So you dont have a problem with GWB appointing people that agree with HIS opinion that we should do NOTHING about illegals coming into this country?

works both ways

I have a problem with it...

[Earthdweller]

Three votes against Rudy...

[Reagan Man]

Bush43`s two appointments to the SCOTUS are in the early stages of their tenure. What happens 10-20 years down the road is an unknown factor at this time. No one can see into the future. So far, so good.

Bush43 has always been an open borders/amnesty. He supports liberal immigration reform as spelled out in Senate bill S2611. Bush, Giuliani and McCain all want comprehensive immigration reform. They all opposed House bill HR 4437 when it passed the GOP House vote in Dec2005.

[Smokin' Joe]

We well be a lot better off once Republicans start to realize that Rudy is the man and quit cherry picking old meaningless quotes, articles and video clips.

We who? You a fugitive from DU?

[Smokin' Joe]

Nice basic summary. I agree.

[TAdams8591]

THAT pic BEAUTIFULLY and SIMPLY says it all.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I trust my own 'lying eyes' to what others may tell me, pure as driven snow though their hearts may be.

I view Rudy's moral trajectory to date and have to trust my own discernment over Rudy's campaign statements and Ted Olson's honest beliefs. What is being postulated about Rudy is antithetical to Rudy's long-term pro-NARAL stance and public endorsement.

The best indicator of future performance is past performance. I do not believe that Rudy's past performance will suddenly be countermanded.


To paraphrase Forrest Gump:

Life is like a tracer bullet--one can generally tell where it's going by the moral trajectory thus far.

[Jim Robinson]

Bush's judges are fine by me.

[gpapa]

He assumes that SC judges are "very much influenced by precedent", and "should be a very good lawyer". Well, color me unimpressed. No where in his last answers is any mention of the constitution. He sounds like a "stare decisis" kind of guy, and we already have enough of those.

We need judges associated with an originalist or at a minimum a strict constructionist judicial philosophy. I assume if he means to appoint a nominee to SCOTUS that agrees with his political philosophy we are likely to see another O'Conner, or even worse another Souter type of judge on the bench. Yuk! Sounds like shades of the Harriet Meiers failed nomination might return in spades.

[Just A Nobody]

LOL!!!

[SeaBiscuit]

Good catch. ..and it's really just common sense that Rudy will surround himself with people who think likewise.. just maybe 'conservatives' that welcomed and applauded Rudy at CPAC should be more ashamed at that than what Coulter said.

[gpapa]

Welcome newbie. Another Rudybot signs on.

[Earthdweller]

"We well be a lot better off once Republicans start to realize that Rudy is the man and quit cherry picking old meaningless quotes, articles and video clips."

Cherry picking means you take someone's statement out of context...this is an entire eye opening interview.

If there was ever any doubt that Rudy is completely in the wrong party....this makes it clear.
