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

"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."

Very true. Vertical stare decisis is essential to the stability of this country. Horizontal stare decisis is important too, but it's far more flexible than vertical and the Left doesn't really care one iota about it.

Just think if this "respect stare decisis" mantra had carried the day when it came to such horrible decisions as Plessy v. Ferguson. Some cases need to be overruled or ignored because they are horrible law. Cases can bring stability (although Roe, Casey, and their progency have brought none whatsoever) and still need to be overruled because of their incorrectness and atrociousness. Justice Thomas and Scalia get this concept. I think Alito and (to some extent) Roberts get it too. (Though I'm not sure that they are quite as willing as Thomas and Scalia to overrule major precedents.)

It is my hope that one day we'll look back on the abortion cases like we now look back on Dred Scott.

[SeaBiscuit]

It baffles me how that simple logic escapes some folks..

[Smokin' Joe]

All the marks of a troll.

Yep.

[NinoFan]

Obvious typo in my post. (I'm sure there are others.) Progency=progeny

"All the marks of a troll. Posts and runs, doesn't answer when addressed."

He can't respond anymore. He's gone.

[Dstorm]

But But Jim, Rudy the only one that can win! He, no his surrogates promised that he would take time off killing babies and gun grabbing and supporting degenerates so we should support him, OK /s

[Deo volente]

So Rudy thinks that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a good justice, and he goes on to say he would only chose justices who agree with him.

Now, since he wholeheartedly supports abortion on demand, we can expect him, if elected president, to nominate someone in the mold of Ginsburg who supports abortion on demand.

NO, THANKS!

Anyone is better than that for the Republican ticket.

Where are the Rudybots on this thread. Did they all go to bed. Or are they afraid to tangle with the Freepers who have posted so far on this thread. Bring 'em on.

[upsdriver]

and supports a liberal for president.

[NinoFan]

Whenever we have the next poll, I think it would be very interesting to have a Rudy v. Romney question. I'm curious how the mormon aspect would come into play, as well as how many FReepers would go third party in that scenario.

[nowandlater]

His opponents will have a field day with that material. Ouch!

[NinoFan]

I still think that "third party" option is kind of a bizarre one for the primary questions BTW, but I get what it's trying to address.

[EternalVigilance]

Count me as third party if Giuliani, Romney or McCain are the Republican nominee.

I agree that Romney is too liberal, especially on abortion. I have a lot of relatives who are LDS (I'm not), and it's difficult to explain to them why I think Romney isn't a good choice without offending them. They really like the idea of a Mormon for President. The best way I've found to open their minds to the possibility that Romney isn't all that is to remind them that Harry Reid is technically LDS. They get it then.

[EternalVigilance]

Romney's candidacy is the worst thing that could have happened to the LDS church.

Maybe you're right: A one-term President Hillary Rodham Clinton is what this country needs before conservatives can muster decent candidates?

We don't have one—and it's too early anyway:

1) There are potential third-party candidates out there to throw the election.

2) Hitlery hasn't had a press conference yet—to show she's NOT up to the job.

3) Youtube.

[Pinkbell]

I believe that he will put in someone he believes is a "Constitutionalist", but I seriously doubt his appointment will be in favor of abortion.

A liberal Democrat on another board was saying the Democrats would consider it a "moral victory" if JulieAnnie won the election.

"...It is my hope that one day we'll look back on the abortion cases like we now look back on Dred Scott..."



We already do... 2 court decisions which circumvented the will of the people, 2 decisions which take a certain section of mankind and treat them as chattel.

2 decisions which betrays this almost morbid fetish the West has with embracing an idea that can only lead to figurative... and ultimately, literal... death.

Dred Scott: blacks are property, no rights, mere chattel to do with as a person desires...
Roe v Wade: simply replace the word "blacks" with "babies".

From your screen to God's inbox, Nino... may it one day be so...

[azhenfud]

Asking myself, "Az, would you support a pro-abortion, gun grabbing, liberal candidate?"

As Rudy said, "No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing."
