Conservatives, who I trust, noted major problems in Gonzales's record. I supported him until I went to Ms. Malkin's website and did soem research based on the articles.

There was no prejudice involved. That is a far cry from those who support anything and everything the Bush administration does.

I don't "support everything the Bush Administration does." On the Texas parental notification case, I read all the decisions in that case. I did so on the basis of my own knowledge of constitutional law (30+ years practicing before the US Supreme Court).

The Gonzales decision that some off-the-wall critics are getting excited about, is NOT about abortion. It IS about judges not rewriting the law to suit their personal interests. And after that decision, the Texas legislature DID rewrite the law along the lines that Gonzales discussed.

In short, anyone who holds to the conservative position that judges should apply the law, but not WRITE the law, should be strongly in favor of Gonzales. Such folks should not be sniping at Gonzales from the sidelines. That sniping is what I'm calling "ignorance."
