“Can’t help that.”
Incomplete sentence. You mean Perry could not have helped that? Yes, he could have. How? By not appointing the unqualified Xavier Rodriguez to the Court of Appeals in the first place, thus enhancing Rodriguez resume and giving him an unwarranted career boost, leading to Rodriguez becoming a federal judge, leading up to Rodriguez teaming up with another federal judge Orlando Garcia on the three-judge-panel, with the two of them overturning the will of the duly-elected Texas legislature, thus treating the people of Texas as if we were still under Reconstruction.
So, yes, Perry could have helped that. You think anyone fell for your bull**** excuses for Perry’s actions?
The appointment of Rodriquez to the Supreme Court of Texas was in 2001 - 10 years ago. I imagine that if the Judge has a grudge, it’s for people like Smith. Smith, by the way, was opposed by every living former member of the Court in 2004, and has become a perennial failed candidate.
