Oh, this is rich!

So first Bush appoints Alberto "Human rights are quaint" Gonzales for the AG spot, and we all say "Whew! At least it isn't SCOTUS!" (SCOTUS + Ashcroft is a discussion for another day)

And today, we find that anti-abortion groups oppose the nomination...because he isn't right-wing ENOUGH!

Seems that O boy Alberto, when he sat on the Texas Supreme Court, was NOT an activist judge, and followed the law as written. And that law, as written, said that there are times when an under-18 patient can have an abortion without notifying her parents.

And by NOT being an activist judge, he has incurred the wrath of the right-to-lifers. Wow!

I love this:

Said Brown(Judie Brown, president of the American Life League), "Gonzales' position is clear: The personhood of the pre-born human being is secondary to technical points of law, and that is a deadly perspective for anyone to take. ...

Screw the law, we should impose our personal points of view! That's the conservative stance now. I'll be sure to let everyone know that judges should be required to rule based on their own personal beliefs, NOT on the law. I'm sure the Massachusets Supreme Court will feel a great weight has been lifted from their shoulders now that they're no longer activist judges; they're moral judges.

How do we keep losing to these morons? I mean, seriously.
