Okay, so he says he was swayed because Rudy says he’d appoint strict constructionist Supremes.

I’ve said this before, and here we go again:

1. Why do we trust the word of a philanderer?
2. What does he mean by “strict constructionist”?
3. Has Giuliani said that a “strict constructionist” reading of the Constitution would end abortion?
4. So... Giuliani would appoint judges who think he’s wrong, who disagree with him, who’d end something he has no moral qualms about?
5. So... are we supposed to think that Giuliani thinks Giuliani is wrong? Then why doesn’t he change his position?

This amounts to a wink-wink to me.

I'm not pushing for Mayor Giuliani, but this question of yours leads me to ask: what if a candidate believes that a strict constructionist reading of the Constitution leaves the issue to the states??? Is supporting the Constitution not good enough?

Well the answer is No because strict constructionist judges wouldn't end abortion. They would give the ablilty to get an abortion back with the states, which is where it belongs, in the state houses. I suspect NY and NJ will keep it legal and the south will have stricter laws. Over turning Roe, does not end abortion and to suggest it means you are either not informed on the issue or being intentionally misleading. Roe can go and lets put the decision back with the states where it belongs in the first place.

Once nominated, he will run to center. Once elected, he will govern from the left.

Last night, Rudy did a good job blasting the real socialists, the real immoralists, the real abortionists, the real anti-Americans on national security. It is too bad that the Pharisees in the Party will not understand that he is not a saint only a guy who might actually defeat Hildabeast and keep our free enterprise system upright, our national security strong. If Mitt, Fred or Mike can do the same thing NATIONALLY, fine with me. So far the voters in polls say NO they do not, cannot. Still, almost all the front runners last night gave answers that were intellectually, morally concise . Things that the Demsocialists will never do. You bet electability is a part of this. Oh, and Ronald Reagan unfortunately is dead and will not be back in any of our choices. One thing I did see is that Mike the Huck should be the VP candidate for the winner, no matter who he is. Mike is the real deal if a bit weak on national security and taxes. And Duncan Hunter should be our Sec. of State or Defense if the GOP wins.

Why would anybody make such an idiotic statement? Obviously, all the Supreme Court can do is overturn Roe.
