Seems like you have an excuse for every slip up of Romney.
I see no evidence that this is a slip-up for Romney. I see no evidence that this judge was a liberal, either when she was a prosecuter, or after she became a judge. She could well have been, but nothing in the record OTHER than this single ruling gives any indication of her particular political stance, other than that she was a democrat.
He was appointing democrats, and I see no evidence that any information was presented to him or known to anyone that, years after his appointment and after he was gone from the governorship, she would make a mistake like this in a bail hearing case.
And I can’t find a single freeper who called this woman out before they knew about this case, or any other conservative for that matter. Maybe the conservatives DID complain about her appointment, but looking through the record and searching google the ONLY complaints I find are from liberals, that she was a prosecuter and not in tune enough with civil rights.
I see no indication that a Governor Fred Thompson of Mass. would have picked a different person to be a judge. We can’t know of course since Fred has never appointed a conservative judge, OR a liberal judge, though he DID vote for some pretty liberal Clinton appointees while he was in the senate.
I wouldn’t hold Fred accountable for the liberals he voted yes on, although by the logic here I guess I should.
