My thoughts on Rudy improved after hearing him talk about Alito, Roberts and Scalia on the Supreme Court. That will make him a more palatable candidate to social conservatives. Basically, he said he would pick judges like them - "strict constructionists."

Good grief. Politicians will say anything to get elected, unless they have real bedrock principles, like Reagan or Goldwater. You should look instead at Rudy's track record, which is very liberal, not what even a middle-of-the-road Rupublican would support.

But Will,

Rudy considers himself to be "strict Constructionists." A man who believes Roe vs. Wade is "good law."

Don't fall for carefully polled, intentionally vague political speak. He can appoint a Ginsberg type and still be true to his promise to appoint "strict constructionists" as he understands them to be.

Rudy thinks "strict constructionist" is a big-tent word that applies anywhere from Scalia to himself.

Rudy Giuliani CANNOT be trusted to make judicial appointments. He speak PROUDLY of his 100 appointments in NY City - a record that makes the ACLU proud.
