“You might want to include his judicial appointments which are not reassuring as an indicator of the kind of judge he would put on the Supreme Court.”
Give me some links please, I promise to use them next posting.
Let me get back to you with those.
Nor was his treatment of Texas Supreme Court Justice Steven Wayne Smith. Smith should be a hero to conservatives everywhere, as he was the lead attorney in Hopwood vs. Texas, which led to a landmark ruling against affirmative action and racial preferences in 1996. Several years later Smith ran for the Texas Supreme Court against Xavier Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who also called himself a moderate, had been appointed to the court by Governor Perry, no doubt as part of an effort to reach out to minorities. After Smith defeated Rodriguez in 2002, Rick Perry gave Smith the cold shoulder. In 2004 he personally recruited Paul Green to oppose Smith in the GOP primary, and lent his voice to tens of thousands of automated “robo calls” denouncing Smith. Unfortunately, his efforts paid off, and Steven Wayne Smith, one of the most conservative judges in Texas history, lost his seat on the Supreme Court. This sorry episode of petty vindictiveness revealed an ugly side of Rick Perry that few Texans had suspected.
