What was the context. Got a transcript?
That was the context. I don't have a transcript. It was about a year ago when Alito was confirmed. You can chose to take my word for it or not. I know Sean Hannity likes Rudy and has said he would support him for President.
COLMES: Now, on abortion — now, you are pro-choice, right?
GIULIANI: Yes.
COLMES: You're a pro-choice Republican.
GIULIANI: I am.
~snip~
COLMES: Now, Roe vs. Wade -- 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 he 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.
So Rudy thinks Ruth Bader Ginsberg is a "very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer".... "very qualified lawyer, very smart person". I don't know any conservative who heaps praises on J.Ginsberg like that. J.Ginsberg is the ultimate liberal. Obviously, Rudy is not a conservative when it comes to his idea of what makes a good strict constructionist judge-jurist-justice. Rudy would be more inclined to appoint a Lawrence Tribe, George Mitchell or Alan Dershowitz to the SCOTUS, then he would be to appoint another Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas or William Rehnquist.
