Either Dewhurst gets credit for passing Tort reform, loser pays, DOMA, Voter ID, the sonogram bill and a Woman’s Right to Know, etc., or he shouldn’t get blamed for the bad things that have happened.
What that Rice professor’s article actually says is that Dewhurst must be more “moderate” than 4 of the Republican Senators. But — showed him more conservative than the other 27.
That Rice professor put Hairy Legged Jeff *Wentworth* in the “conservative” column, btw.
As to the Dems as Chairs - that’s tradition in Texas. For one thing, we’ve got Dems more conservative on business and right to life than Wentworth who voted against Tort reform, WRTK, and the Sonogram bill.)
The Solicitor General does what the Attorney General tells him to do. He’s a staffer, an appointed position. (On the other hand, he would have had leeway on signing papers as Counsel of Record for his law firm who signed up with Linglong.)
Cruz is good at arguing. We have no idea what sort of legislator he will be.
Very faithful of you to point some of them out.
Well hopefully we will find out what sort of legislator he (Cruz) will be!
I like the Tea Party types better than the "incumbent" types.
