Because of one ruling this guy is now tarred as pro-abortion?

Yup, because he interpreted the Texas parental-consent law as the Legislature wrote it and didn't legislate from the bench.

"I can deal with my enemies. God save me from my "friends.""

Well-said. We are our own worst enemies at times. I think the loss the Democrats just endured should be a cautionary tale to the GOP. We're feeling our oats now and feeling like anything less than perfect ideological fealty, even when it simply came about as a judge interpreting the law rather than making law from the bench, is to be stomped on and destroyed at once. The Dems. have lost 2 major elections now due to fanatical ideological crusades. Hope we don't make the same mistake.

I have never seen any evidence that Gonzalez is personally pro-abort or that as a lawyer he approves of Roe. President Bush, who has worked closely with him for years, might have some inkling, though.
