It can take one appointment to do a mess of damage. This wasn’t one of those “Oops, I didn’t know how bad he’d be” types, this was a willful promotion of a liberal Democrat activist. Just one is all it takes. I do indeed find it remarkable that not a single Perry disciple in this thread finds it distressing in the least. They’ll stick with their phony idol no matter how horrid he is and continue to lie on his behalf about how “Conservative” he is.

Look at the Court, look at who was originally appointed by the Governor and then elected and re-elected. Your opinion of the Governor’s appointments is not shared by the voters.

No one knows whether or not Rodriquez would still be sitting on the Court with Jefferson and the others the Governor has appointed (I think all but Hecht, Wainright, and the guy who beat the guy who beat Rodriquez, Green.)

Why was Rodriguez defeated in 2002 ? It was asked and answered in this thread. Perry had a deeply personal involvement with Rodriguez and went out of his way to destroy Steven Wayne Smith, a model Conservative jurist. These are not the actions of a "Conservative" Governor, but a liberal with a personal agenda and axe to grind, out for revenge. What was the quid pro quo for the appointment of a leftist Democrat to a job for which he was woefully unqualified for (and unvetted) ? Why did Perry become obsessed with defeating a good Conservative ? These are many of the reasons why Perry has no business in high office, especially the Governorship. Another example of the crony politics that has marked his career.

What has been asked and answered is why every living former Texas SC justice endorsed Smith’s opponent in 2004. The justices and the voters agreed with Perry.

You’re changing the subject and obfuscating as usual. It’s disturbing that your idol worship has blinded you to all reason and sanity. I’d have a more productive conversation with a block of drywall.

“”Why are federal judges deciding how we vote?”

Because they can. Usually you hear how Californians constantly have their votes overturned by activist courts, but it happens in all the states.”

This doesn’t happen in northern States. Only us Southern States are subject to the whimsical voting dictates of the Federal injustice system.

union of the unequal abused slaves. At least in Califorina you can point out their own State Cort is as crazy as their “Supreme” federal dictators, and often the one working to enable the same as a means of bypassing the legislator.

Texas did nothing to deserve the “special” treatment of our federal dictators except offend Yankee with how we choose to live in our own homes. Nobody cared how Yankees offended us with how they lived in their own homes.(killing babies by the millions).

Indeed they went so far as to impose their murderous ethics upon us!

Congratulations, Altura.

You are the 1000th Perrybot to make a silly post whining about someone pinging someone else to a thread about Perry.

Your prize, a BRAND NEW CAR!!!

Perry appointed this liberal to TX Supreme Court and his soulmate GW Bush put him on the Federal bench. EPIC FAIL.

What was it that Perry, Cornyn and Hutchinson seemed to have against Steven Wayne Smith? (I honestly don’t know.) It appears to be some kind of dust-up between Perry and the Bushes.

As I wrote, Smith’s sin was beating Perry’s protege. For that, Perry had to destroy him. Yet one more reason why Perry’s candidacy for President is not only a non-starter, so is his intolerable tenure as Governor. Texas deserves a helluva lot better.
