I would like to add that fear of retaliation from the Republican-controlled Judicial System is the primary reason many lawyers don't give money to democratic candidates, at least in Harris County, TX. <BR/><BR/>Can you post a list of judicial seats up for grabs in '08? There is much work to be done!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-1163093117668623082006-11-09T11:25:00.000-06:002006-11-09T11:25:00.000-06:00Karl Rove started with the Texas Supreme Court, an...Karl Rove started with the Texas Supreme Court, and used it as a foothold to take over Texas. We can do the same with the benches. If more Texans knew what a scandal the CCA is more are likely to vote for change. Word can also be gotten out through earned media (not just candidate advertisements).<BR/><BR/>In addition to the CCA we should be worrying about the courts of appeals. Beaumont has already gone R.
