One question...
Have you read the Jane Doe 5 opinion and studied it?
The obvious answer to that is "no".
This isn't about whether Gonzales reached the correct decision based on the facts at hand, and according to the letter of the law. This is about the fact that Gonzales did not exhibit activism favorable to the pro-life movement.
Generally speaking the American people don't understand what Judges are supposed to do, and how they are supposed to behave while rendering judgment; they all believe (left and right alike), that the Judge is there to change the law, or to reach decisions based not on the law, but rather on what the law should say, rather than simply judging on the strict, self-evident wording of the law, and examining the law as it applies to the strict, self-evident letter of the Constitution.
