i agree that Gonzalez is a BAD pick based on what i know of his judicial record in Texas.

OK, you dislike him because he refused to legislate from the bench?

Wasn't the AG who prosecuted judge Roy Moore also a Bush judicial pick who was fillibustered by the Democrats?

I agreed with Moore but I also agreed with the AG for doing exactly what his job required hum to do.

I dislike him because he and his fellow judges overturned TWO lower court rulings in regard to a judicial bypass provision that prevented a 17 year old from getting an abortion. Thanks to Gonzalez, the judicial bypass provision was reduced to to the lowest possible level, thus making it easier for minors to get an abortion without parental consent.

It was soley left up to the courts to determine the standard for a judicial bypass and Gonzalez and friends went out of their way to set a low standard to obtain one.

This blind faith in Bush's nominees is going to result in more O'Connors, Souters and Kennedys making their way into the court system and SCOTUS.

Gonzalez is totally unacceptable as a future Supreme Court nominee.
