'Democratic senators who last year blocked confirmation of Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen as a federal appellate judge repeatedly cited Gonzales's attack on her minority opinion as an "unconscionable act of judicial activism."'

I'm glad he's strong aginst terrorism, but I wonder why he objected to her stand? From what I read, Owen would have made a great federal judge. Would that we had her as one now!!

Guess I need to read her opinion on this, and see why he objected.

Gonzales never attacked Priscilla Owen by name in his opinion. In point of fact, he was probably referring to another judges dissent in that case.

I say that knowing that I could never support Gonzales for SCOTUS but if W trusts him as AG, I gotta go with W.

Gonzales was the White House Counsel who recommended Owen to the President for a lifetime appointment. They are kindred spirits. It is the Senate Democrats who are blocking her ascension to the federal appeals court.

Owen and Gonzales differed on one matter of statutory interpretation in a parental notification case and Gonzales criticized her views in his opinion. Ramesh from National Review looked into the case and found that it does not provide any evidence that Gonzales is not pro-life.
