“”A former Texas Supreme Court justice whose appointment by Gov. Rick Perry””
Whoops, looks like Perry launched this leftist career, provided him with power.
Hardly, Fullbight and Jaworski, Who bought the Chevron Building in DTWN Houston, hired him in 1987.
But just so we set the RECORD straight, Perry had NOTHING to do with his appointment to the District Court.

Senate Confirms Federal Judges For New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Florida
From Staff and Wire Service Reports
The U.S. Senate has confirmed the appointments of five new federal judges.
Late Thursday, senators approved the nominations of Frank Montalvo and Xavier Rodriguez to federal judgeships in Texas, and of James I. Cohn, James O. Browning, and H. Brent McKnight to seats in Florida, New Mexico, and North Carolina respectively.
Montalvo and Rodriguez were confirmed to judgeships for the Western District of Texas. Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn, both R-Texas, recommended the two to President Bush.
Montalvo was nominated for a new seat in the Western District, and is expected to sit in El Paso. Rodriguez was nominated to fill the vacancy left when Judge Edward Prado was named to the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and is likely to sit in San Antonio.
Montalvo was confirmed on a 95-0 vote and Rodriguez was approved on a voice vote.
“Frank Montalvo and Xavier Rodriguez will only add to the exceptional tradition of judicial excellence the Western District has long enjoyed,” Cornyn said Thursday night in a statement from Washington.
“Judge Montalvo possesses a wealth of judicial and legal experience. He represents some of the finest qualities we expect in our federal judges,” Hutchison said Thursday night, also in a statement from the nation’s capital.
“Judge Rodriguez brings the qualifications and integrity to the bench that Texas and our nation need now,” Hutchison said.
