We have no way of knowing what conversation we’d be having if Stephen Wayne Smith hadn’t beaten Rodriquez in the next election.
We do know that the Dems left the State twice in 2003 to kill a quorum and avoid votes on Redistricting in the House and then the Senate.
Wonder what would be happening if the Dems hadn’t repeatedly blocked so many of Bush’s appointments.
Unfortunately, every liberal judge gets a federal appointment as soon as the Dems get in office.
He'd still have been appointed to the federal bench with Rick Perry's active endorsement. The issue is that Rick Perry, your idol, should NEVER have appointed the liberal Democrat Xavier Rodriguez to ANY judicial capacity in the first place. Let me reminds folks once again... Rodriguez NEVER was elected to office. Not to the TX Supreme Court OR the Federal Bench. He is the ultimate in unaccountable leftist Judicial Activists and owes his entire career to Rick Perry. The same Rick Perry whose sycophants are whining about that activism for whom HE HIMSELF is to blame !
