Giuliani doesn't even know where he stands on abortion

May 4th 2007 22:27
Guiliani was asked yesterday whether it would be a good thing if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. From the debate:

MR. GIULIANI: It would be okay [to overturn].

MR. MATTHEWS: Okay to repeal?

MR. GIULIANI: It would be okay to repeal. Or it would be okay also if a strict constructionist judge viewed it as precedent, and I think a judge has to make that decision.

MR. MATTHEWS: Would it be okay if they didn’t repeal it?

MR. GIULIANI: I think that -- I think the court has to make that decision, and then the country can deal with it. We’re a federalist system of government, and states could make their own decisions.

First of all, the question wasn't whether a judge should decide it, it was which way a judge should decide it.

Two, his remarks are self-contradictory. If a federal judge were to "make that decision" in a pro-Roe manner, states could no longer "make their own decisions." Which is it, Mayor?

It's amazing when politicians flip-flop in seconds. He was for Roe before he was against it, I guess.
