"What's to say Gonzales won't change his mind on abortion?"
He could.
But there's no arm-twisting of any Supreme Court Justice.
His position is declared and known.
Naming him would be betrayal of the pro-life base and breaking a campaign promise.
Gonzales has more problems than just the abortion issue. He has upheld and even encouraged affirmative action initiatives.
There are just too many warning lights going off with Alberto Gonzales. Estrada would be a much better Hispanic appointment.
Naming him would be betrayal of the pro-life base and breaking a campaign promise.

Nowadays, betrayal of your voting base does not seem to be a problem at all for Washington -- just look at how the illegal Mexican issue/border issue is being handled (IGNORED) -- is that supporting your conservative, patriotic, American voting base?? And not only is it shafting the country, but it represents a wholesale breaking of the Presidential oath!!!
His position is declared and known.
As if Bushes have never done that before.
