“Whether pro-life or pro-abortion the President will have no effect on the number of abortions performed.”
Ever heard of the Supreme Court?
Nothing Rudy has done in his past inspires the least bit of confidence that Rudy will appoint strict constructionist judges, or that he would want to. Besides, he will be dealing with a Democrat majority in the Senate. He might appoint some decent judges, just to make the claim that he tried, but you can bet his backup appointments would be considerably more liberal. ...But, this is all wasted energy. Rudy will be dropping out of this race soon. The Mittwits may hand Rudy his head in Florida.
Rudy’s in third in Florida. Smart money is he drops out after 1/29.
What bull cr@p. Rudy will appoint pro-abortion judges and claim that they are strict constructionist because they follow the precedent set by “settled law”—like Roe v. Wade.
Is that the one where you need 60 Senators, that means from both parties, to confirm your nomination?
No sale.
Not voting for a baby-killer.
My rank on who I want to make Judicial Appointments:
1. Huckabee
You can't be serious about this.
Mr. "Living, breathing document"? Appointing judges?
Ditto That
It’s kinda pointless to discuss anything if you’re just gonna make stuff up.
I really only care about one thing: Commander in Chief. That’s what I want. I’ll be voting for whoever the GOP nominee is, because they are ALL better than Hillary.
If we have people staying home in a cute little temper tantrum over something as meaningless as abortion in a Presidential election— well, that’s how Hillary and Bill will get back in the white house. Maybe they’ll do something about abortion... huh?
Under no circumstances will ever vote for Rudy or McCain
I look at PRIORITIES for this country. I think fighting terrorism is the #1 issue. Rudy seems to be in line with that more so than the rest of the RINOs we have to choose from. As far as SCOTUS appointments I’m scared of all of them.
There is no evidence to support this claim.
Secondly, he appointed liberal justices by an 8-1 margin in New York and has tried to redefine what a strict constructionalist is by saying one wouldn't have to vote to overturn Roe, so why on earth would anyone believe him?
I kinda of feel sorry for Rudy, though. If he lied as much Willard has, he might still have a chance.
Of course, you accuse me of “making stuff up” without having the courage or intellectual honesty to specifically state what I have allegedly made up. If you care to be specific, which I doubt, I will gladly provide quotes and links.
You may suffer from a willful ignorance of Rudy’s abortion positions, but I assure you I have followed the “Hero of 9/11’s comments on this matter closely.
As someone in uniform, I am very concerned about who the next Commander in Chief will be. However, I’m not willing to compromise my core principles just because I’m afraid of Hillary Clinton.
Yes,
That’s the one where Rudy’s liberal nominees would only need 10 or less RINO votes to get his nominees appointed. It looks like you are pinning all your hopes on the false assumption that activist judges could never get through the confirmed by the Senate. I can point to 5 current Supreme Court Judges that illustrate how wrong you are.
I agree that Rudy could probably find 10 RINO's to back a liberal SC nominee. I am certainly not for Rudy in any case. The question is, could Hillary get 10 Republicans to do the same.
So is the question about whether Hillary or Giuliani are more able to find 10 RINOs? I don’t understand - please explain, and also - I think I will start a discussion over at www.knowmenow.com on potential judges.
What kind of judges did Rudy actually appoint the last time he was in a position to appoint a judge? Oh, nevermind, that was then ... and this is now, right?
