Who is this idiot, Thomas Drolesky? The first paragraph tells us that Bush appointed 4 pro-abortionist judges to the Texas supreme court. That is absolute BS because Texas supreme court judges are ELECTED not APPOINTED.

[Theodore R.]

Most judges to the TX Supreme Court are first appointed by the governor when vacancies arise. This court often has resignations, such as Alberto Gonzales himself and Priscilla Owen if she could get the Fifth Circuit Court appointment. Then the judges are elected to regular six-year terms. Sometimes they are elected for two- or four-year unexpired terms too. That explains why Bush named so many Supreme Court nominees in TX. Current judge Steven Smith was elected to a two-year unexpired term in November 2002. He faces GOP primary voters again in March 2004.
