The point you are missing in this is that many of the "conservatives" we've elected are agreeing with the other side.
IMHO, those Judges were acting because of $$$ or their interpatation of the law. Regardless, in my great state of Texas.... I do find good conservative Judges, and My President, is the one who has stood up for LIFE! I will continue to vote REPUBLICAN... and not all are bad apples.... a few do not spoil the whole batch.
When? Where? Iraq? Afghanistan?
JFC, again, not bashing you and totally respecting what you're saying...W didn't stand up for life this time. I believe he could have at the very least expressed real outrage. I say this as someone who has respected and loved W...I don't want you to think I hate the President, quite the contrary. But if I feel he has done wrong, and I say nothing, that's just blind devotion (speaking for myself, not casting aspersions on you, I promise).
NO, some of these TX Republican judges are very much on the liberal side -- former Judge Gonzales and former Chief Justice Tom Phillips being among them. We really don't know which of the Republican judges in TX are truly conservative: no groups inform us of that. And there are so many that I cannot recall many of their names.
