To: Luis Gonzalez

Is there as much evidence now that
Albert Gonzales would uphold abortion were he on the Supreme Court (and he may be yet) as there was in 1990, when the first George Bush nominated the ultraliberal David Souter?

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that Alberto Gonzales will uphold the law as it is written.

What we have now are Judges who will seek to overturn any laws banning abortions based on their feeling on the subject, that's called legislating from the bench.

If we have Judges who acknowledge that their jobs consist of interpreting laws as written, not as they believe they should be written, then we've won a major victory.

The problem everyone has with the decisions being discussed, is that Gonzales opined within the scope of an ambiguous law and reached a verdict that most of us do not approve of.

That's the law's fault, not the Judge's fault.
