"Gonzales is a scary pro-abortion liberal as may be witnessed by his judicial decisions while on the Texas Supreme Court which included torpedoing even the tepid parental notification bill championed by then Governor George W. Bush."

How does applying the law as written translate to torpedoing legislation? Justice Gonzales was not in the legislature drafting the law. I thought strict constructionism was a tenet of the conservative movement?

Applying the law as written? What the heck are you talking about? Just because the Gang of Five unconstitutionally changed the constitution in their 1973 Roe v. Wade decision to include some imaginary "right of privacy" which would mandate their agenda abortion on demand doesn't mean that killing our unborn babies is not unconstitutional. In point of fact abortion is unconstitutional as it deprives American babies of their right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" among other things. Strict constructionism means interpreting the Constitution as it was intended by its Founders not endorsing the past 30 years reign of radical liberal judicial fiat common law!!
