And I feel sorry that Judge Owen was cheated out of a federal judge position. She and the dissenters were right.
In your opinion and like mine it doesn't matter squat... I still prefer some one who stays away from trying to write law from the bench..... 56 legislators huh?..... Well that is a minority by far in the Texas Legislature. There are 150 Representatives and 31 Senators...... And trying to develop legislative intent after fact when they could have wrote it correctly the first time... Yep seems like attempted judicial activism to me which I don't like from either side the aisle.
The Pro Life groups in Texas have been successful in each legislative session in moving the Movement forward with changes in legislation. We now have Republican majorities in each branch that we didn't have back when this all began. It's a balancing act to keep it within the guide lines such that it isn't in violation of the Federal statues... There was another suit filed I think in 2002 challenging the entire process but I'm not sure if or how it was resolved.
Now that we've beat this issue to pieces on to the next one.... lol. You have a nice day today. I'm going to go put some road miles in on the bike before the forecasted rains come if they get here later on...
Yes, this is old news and more pressing things at hand.
I do feel that with the comments made by legislators while the law was still being written clearly shows their intent, and the Court misinterpreted.
Hope the weather clears for you. :)
