What rulings signed by Judge Rodriguez do you find particularly offensive? Can you name one?
Incidentally, he now sits on the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, appointed by President Bush.
bwaa-haaa-haa!!!
Perrys pick, Judge Xavier Rodriguez?
NOW likes him, sort of.

This is the abortion case that provided them with a reason to like him

Senators Kay Bailey-Hutchinson and John Cornyn liked him so much they urged Bush to appoint him, which he did. Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

The Trans Texas Corridor people like him, at least a little

He liked David Souter as a model for judicial thought. Um, Souter is seriously not conservative.

He gets mixed reviews from attorneys who litigated before him

Steven Wayne Smith, a strong opponent of affirmative action, and a whole lot of Smith endorsers in the Texas conservative universe (see bottom of article), didnt like him, which is why they were backing Smith, despite Perry’s disapproval.

There are other issues with Rodriguez, but I am out of time. Suffice it to say, yes, this was a questionable Texas Supreme Court pick for a guy making himself out to be the grand conservative alternative to the current administration. Pffft!
