He thinks Ruth Ginsburg was a fine choice for SCOTUS.

So did Kip Bond, Paul Coverdell, Pete Domenici, Phil Gramm, Connie Mack, Strom Thurmond, Mitch McConnell, Bob Smith and Alan Simpson, all of whom voted to confirm her.

Would you like to assail these men's conservative credentials?

They voted to confirm her but that doesn't necessarily mean that they considered her a fine choice. Moreover, Rudy Giuliani thought her a fine choice more than ten years after she was nominated.
You know she's a far left liberal. Don't you care?

The Republicans during the Clinton years, unlike the Democrats more recently, recognized that the president has the perogative to nominate qualified jurists that match his philosophical bent. Orrin Hatch told Slick that Bruce Babbit would not pass muster because he was not an experienced or qualified jurist. But when Clinton nominated Ginsburg, she was qualified and the GOP confirmed her. That was in no way an approval of her views - whereas Rudy is in much agreement with Ginsburg in areas such as abortion - heck, Ginsburg is to the RIGHT of Rudy on 2nd Amendment issues.
