Brendan Miniter writes that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani may yet find support among social conservatives in his bid for the Republican nomination for President despite his position in favor of abortion, gay-rights, and embryonic stem cell research. The reason, no surprise, is the worn out argument that he will likely appoint judges "in the mold" of John Roberts and Samuel Alito "who may actually overturn Roe v. Wade."
Miniter apparently fails to understand that Giuliani's dismal position on social issues is not skin deep but reflects the twisted principles of justice to which he holds and upon which he will govern. Why will social conservatives support such a presidency?
Yes, Giuliani might nominate a Roberts or Alito (of course, neither has a proven track record in the Supreme Court). Then again, why wouldn't he choose a Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
