The reality is that you really don't know very much about Gonzales' record at all because he was only on the Texas Supreme Court for 2 years.

Gonzales is a dangerous liberal leaning judge. He consistently upheld abortion rights in Texas. You have to remember, these guys get all hung up on themselves once they get up there (i.e. Kennedy keeps a scrap book of himself). Any liberal or moderate inclinations and then when in the spotlight they kiss their "constitutional" convictions and your constitutional rights bye bye.

I don't see how you can say that based on just two years on the Texas Supreme Court. Besides, your statement that he has "consistently upheld abortion rights" ignores that as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court, he had no choice but to uphold abortion rights. The Texas Supreme Court does not decide whether there is a constitutional right to abortion in the US Supreme Court. He simply takes that as given by the US Supreme Court.

As I've said before, I am not arguing that Gonzales is a conservative. I am simply pointing out that you can't tell based on a 2 year record on the Texas Supreme Court. But I am sure that Bush knows whether he is a conservative. And if he appoints him, then I am certain it will be because he knows Gonzales better that you.
