The link for finding Gonzales outspoken criticisms of fellow Judges Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen is:
http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=1726
Gonzales is WEAK on PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. two examples: 1) While he was WH Counsel, the WH sided with the City of New London on the Kelo case, or refused to join on Kelo's side in an amicus brief.
Secondly, a quick search found this case where Gonzalies joned the majority in SHARPLY opposing Janet Rogers Brown's dissent (they were both on the Texas Supreme Court at the time) (Source: People for te American Way, via Google search):
FM Properties Operating Co. v. City of Austin, 22 S.W.3d 868 (Tex. 2000)
Gonzales joined a 6-3 ruling by Justice Baker that struck down a state law that allowed certain private landowners to exempt themselves from municipal water-quality and other environmental ordinances by creating their own "water quality protection zones." The majority ruled that the law constituted an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority to private individuals. Owen wrote a vigorous dissent claiming that the majority’s opinion "strikes a severe blow to private property rights." Id. at 889. The majority specifically criticized Owen’s dissent, explaining that most of it "is nothing more than inflammatory rhetoric," and that "the two legal arguments Justice Owen does make are both based on a flawed premise." Id. at 877 (emphasis added).

Judical Acitivism by Gonzales BUMP!
Gonzales is NOT a Conservative Bump!
Gonzales is NOT an Originalist BUMP!
He won't be nominated for SCOTUS, so find something else to vent your spleen about.
Gonzales is NOT a Strict Constructionist Bump!
Gonzales is WEAK on Protecting Private Property Rights Bump!
(Based upon his record.)
Something is messed up here. Janice Brown did not serve on the Texas Supreme Court with Gonzales. She is a Supreme Court Jurist from California. She left California today to take up her new gig in Washington.
When was Janice Rogers Brown on the Texas Supreme Court?
Gonzles has extensive strong written criticisms of Priscilla Owen and Jance Rogers Brown, enough to be extensively documented by the Ultra-liberal People for the American Way. (Link above.)

F. Lee Levin for The Supreme Court.
Sorry, I corrected thaterror on antoher thread. he criticsed Priscilla Owen while they were both ojnthe Texas Supreme Court.
Separately, he criticsed Janice Rogers Brown as cronicled in the People for the Aemrican Way link, above.
Mea cupla, and profuse apologies. however, the saleint point remains that he has a long record, painstakingly documented byothers of cirticising BOTH Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen,a ndother conservative jurists.

I'll pick people who one, can do the job; people who are honest, people who are bright; and people who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not use the bench to legislate from. That's what I campaigned on, and that's what I'm going to do."

La Raza Gonzales is weak on lots of things.
