He's a remarkable candidate. I mean, there is nothing in his background that doesn't say "superb qualifications for the Supreme Court." His education, his academic performance, the extraordinary fact that he's argued 39 times before the Supreme Court.

A more acurate quote

"And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And [John Roberts] 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." Rudy Giuliani ["Hannity & Colmes", Fox News Network, 7/20/05

The quote you posted isn't more accurate; it is merely attributed. My quote is from the exact same interview.

Again, the comparisons to Ginsburg were made during a time when Rudy was stumping for Roberts and attempting to show the Democrats' double standard on SCOTUS nominees. He was working within the political arena for President Bush's nominee.

The fact that this point is lost on you is indicative of your political ignorance.
