Giuliani To Conservatives: I'll Pick Your Kind Of Judges

AP:

Rudy Giuliani assured a conservative legal group Friday that if elected president he would appoint federal judges who adhere to their principles. He also praised a judge who declared the capital city's gun ban unconstitutional and ridiculed efforts to eliminate the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.

In a speech marking the 25th anniversary of the Federalist Society, Giuliani spelled out a conservative legal agenda in which he cited Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts as models for the judges he would appoint to the federal bench.

100% unacceptable. The social conservatives are not the only faction of the GOP. Giuliani is giving them the store and in doing so has managed to alienate moderate and libertarian Republicans who want no part of these whacked out Revival Tent Republicans.

While there is some question as to whether Giuliani can actually win the GOP nomination, it is now guaranteed that he cannot win the general election. Moderates and Independents want no part of this judicial theocracy. With at least two SCOTUS Justices likely to be replaced by the next President, the future of the SCOTUS cannot be given to knuckledraggers like Scalia and Thomas.

The GOP is going down big in 08. A Santorum sized loss big. Republicans will have a minimum of 4 years and probably 8 to listen to the words of Barry Goldwater: "If they suceed in establishing religion as a basic Republican Party tenent, they could do us in."

Not only will he pick their kind of judges, the conservatives can tell him to shit and he'll ask "what color?"
