"And, he has praised Ruth Bader Ginsberg."

From what I understand, he made that comment based upon a discussion about the nomination process. Republicans gave her a pass remember, and Rudy was saying, hey, it's okay for the Republicans to give Bill Clinton a pass on Ginsberg but the Democrats will filibuster on Bush's nominee?? He was pointing out the historical process that Presidents get to put on the Supreme Court who they choose, given that they are qualified. Democrats have changed that. Now the Democrats wont vote for anyone without a litmus test. That is unconstitutional.

Rudy, said, a strict constructionist like Scalia, Roberts, Alito.

He did not say, like Ginsberg, Breyer.....

“Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them’.
–Rudy Giuliani discussing Supreme Court appointments on ‘Hannity and Colmes’, July 20, 2005.

Those are Rudy's VERY OWN WORDS!! So we can assume that Rudy will NOT do that? LOL

Thanks for reminding us that Rudy and his apologists promise us that once elected and in office,,,

President Giuliani will abandon his core, long-held, bedrock values and principle!!!!!..lol

Rudolph Giuliani, Hannity and Colmes, 7/05:

Host Alan Colmes:

"Now, Roe versus -- now, you are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...

Giuliani:"That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And [John Roberts] fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category. I mean, she was -- she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her. I expect, and listening to Senator Nelson, I expect that John Roberts will get support from a lot of Democrats."
