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.
You do know all but 2 Republicans voted for Ginsberg in confirmation right?
Thanks.
So what? He's basically saying the same thing that Bush said - no litmus test.
"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."
Yes, Rudy said Ginsburg was very intelligent, very honest, and a very good lawyer. He did not say that he agreed with her judicial philosophy. Rudy has said he supports strict constructionist like Roberts and Scalia. Ted Olsen has said Rudy does as well. Ted Olsen is no liar.
