GIULIANI: I know him from kind of the beginning of his career, when he was — right after he clerked for Justice Rehnquist, he came to work in the Justice Department. He worked for Attorney General Smith. That was his first job after clerking. And I knew him then. I knew him all throughout the time that he worked in the White House. He's a remarkable candidate. I mean, there is nothing in his background that doesn't say "superb qualifications for the Supreme Court." His education, his academic performance, the extraordinary fact that he's argued 39 times before the Supreme Court. Very few people get confirmed...

COLMES: There's some questions to whether, you know, Roe vs. Wade. He made one statement as solicitor general and deputy solicitor general and saying that it should be overturned, Roe v. Wade. None of — go ahead.

GIULIANI: Actually, he made that statement arguing a case before the court, in which that was the position of his client. So you can't...

GIULIANI: You listen to his colleagues and he'll make a decision. And like any Supreme Court justice, he'll be very much influenced by precedent, but if he thinks that something is said to him or there's some argument that appeals to his intellect, his common sense, his background, I mean, the Supreme Court usually sticks with precedence. And sometimes they overturn them.

3. Dance, Rudy, Dance

Now that you are on the NATIONAL stage, you don't want to let on that you yourself are PRO CHOICE? Besides which, how many cases did YOU ever win?

Cannot stand the man. Never could.

4. Rudy willing to be "unpleasantly" surprised by Roberts' overturning Roe

Rudy like all the RW talking heads loves the fact Roberts is taking the fifth on Roe. Rudy gets to say he THINKS Roberts is going to uphold Roe--thereby getting points with dumber prochoice voters--while backing the guy who will overturn Roe--thereby getting points with the antichoice people.

When Roberts overturns Roe, Rudy will shrug his shoulders and say, "Who knew, oh well, guess abortion is a possibility now, vote for me for president."
