And I believe that such an appointment would be a good fit for all involved.

I'm a little nervous about Rudy as Attorney General or Secretary of Homeland Security.

His attack on gun manufacturers through product liability lawsuits shows a serious lack of respect for individual rights, and for narrowly targeting efforts on criminals.

He has far too much of an authoritarian streak for my comfort.

I don't doubt that he would go after our nation's enemies. I worry that he would stomp on a lot of innocent people in the process because he seems to have a relatively broad interpretation of the ends justifying the means.

I think he would be a good choice for such a position in the administration of a truly conservative President which would keep him in check. However, I don't see any such conservatives among the remaining candidates.

There are obviously worse choices than Rudy for those positions, but I would hope there are also better ones.
