Dear Ingtar,

I remember what he said about Justice Alito.

But you said that he compared Justices Roberts and Ginsburg, saying that their both “constructionists.”

Doubts about Justice Alito are hardly the same thing as an endorsement of Ms. Ginsburg.

I vividly remember the interview where Mr. GIULIANI said something very similar - that both Justice Roberts and Justice Ginsburg were good and acceptable choices for the Court. If I'd previously have heard that Mr. McCain had said something like that, I'd have remembered it.

In that I followed the primary season reasonably closely, I find it hard to believe that I'd have missed that one.

Perhaps you're referring to Mr. Giuliani’s statement saying that both Mr. Roberts and Ms. Ginsburg were examples of good, fine, acceptable justices?

Thanks,

Recall that (the Ginsburg/Roberts comparison) was a White House talking point at the time, in arguing for confirmation (i.e., "Republicans voted for Ginsburg, so Dems should vote for Roberts, since they are both constructionists.").

If you look, I realized my error and apologized for mixing Giuliani and McCain on this. Sorry to post something incorrect.
