Because they can. Usually you hear how Californians constantly have their votes overturned by activist courts, but it happens in all the states.
If there is on issue which Perry has made a personal crusade, it is lawsuit reform. Working with the legislature, he has helped pass curbs on frivolous lawsuits, implemented a first-in-the-nation system under which loser pays all court costs in many lawsuits, and reformed medical malpractice law.
Dick Weekley, the co-founder of Texans for Lawsuit Reform, says Perry showed genuine political courage in resisting calls for watered-down reforms that wouldnt have addressed the core problem. He recalls that in 2002 Perry vetoed a bill strongly supported by doctors that would have required them to prompt payment from health maintenance organizations.
In the eyes of the tort reform advocates, the bill was a Trojan Horse compromise negotiated between doctors and trial lawyers. There was a huge response from physicians [against the veto], Kim Ross, the former top lobbyist for the Texas Medical Association, said.
TMA went so far as to endorse Tony Sanchez, Perrys millionaire Democratic opponent in the 2002 election. Perry sent a signal that he wanted real reform and would stand his ground, Weekley told me. Soon the medical lobbyists playing footsie with the trial lawyers were gone and the obstacles to real reform started falling. ..

AND now the TMA is endorsing Gov. Rick Perry. They understand now what he was doing would HELP them.
...."The Texas Medical Associations political action committee recently endorsed him for president, and its members are helping him raise money and make connections with medical groups in other states.".... source

“”Why are federal judges deciding how we vote?”
Because they can. Usually you hear how Californians constantly have their votes overturned by activist courts, but it happens in all the states.”
This doesn’t happen in northern States. Only us Southern States are subject to the whimsical voting dictates of the Federal injustice system.
union of the unequal abused slaves. At least in Califorina you can point out their own State Cort is as crazy as their “Supreme” federal dictators, and often the one working to enable the same as a means of bypassing the legislator.
Texas did nothing to deserve the “special” treatment of our federal dictators except offend Yankee with how we choose to live in our own homes. Nobody cared how Yankees offended us with how they lived in their own homes.(killing babies by the millions).
Indeed they went so far as to impose their murderous ethics upon us!
