GOOD catch.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I think this Rudy guy is one seriously bad candidate for the USA. Ugh.

[EternalVigilance]

ping...

[screaming eagle2]

And Presidents appointing like minded people to the courts suprises you how?

[flashbunny]

Will this be another 'crickets' thread???

[TAdams8591]

"Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them."

Precisely! Rudy's words speak for themselves.

Excellent find!

"Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them." - Rudy Giuliani

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

Retire Rudy bump.

[Mike Nolan]

He was advocating for Roberts in this transcript, maybe he shouldn't have, I guess we should have just went with Harriet Miers instead.

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.

[Lexinom]

Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them.

So what we take from this is that the one bone tossed the conservatives' way by those pushing Rudolph Giuliani is in fact a plastic one.

[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.

[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!

[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

[Earthdweller]

Three votes against Rudy...

[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.

[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.

[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

[gpapa]

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.

[nowandlater]

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

[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.
