Take Alberto Gonzales as an example, he was and is joined to Mr. Bush at the hip and watch what happens now that Mr. Bush is no longer in the White House and Mr. Gonzales was "kindly" asked to leave.<BR/><BR/>Government should not be made of up of cronies and "you pat my back and I will pat your back."<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, we will finally get a fair court sytem in not just Texas but the entire US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-14995388687292571772009-01-26T16:53:00.000-06:002009-01-26T16:53:00.000-06:003:33 - I think going back to 2006 because that's w...3:33 - I think going back to 2006 because that's when Democrats took over the Senate and that body stopped rubberstamping Bush's judicial appointments. The failure of Democrats to support Bush's judicial nominees has been a contentious inside-the-beltway issue, so I'm sure that explains some of it.<BR/><BR/>That said, there are <A HREF="http://www.uscourts.gov/cfapps/webnovada/CF_FB_301/index.cfm?fuseaction=Reports.ViewSummary" REL="nofollow">875 total federal judical slots</A> nationwide, so I'm not sure 55 is that high to begin with.

I think cases are fixing to move much faster in the federal system, which is not a good thing for you. Hopefully, President Obama will put a new judge in place who doesn't tolerate Retaliation, Sexual Harassment and UNION BUSTING by an out of control tax payer-paid boss! You and all your administration had better save your paychecks for legal services, tax payers shouldn't foot the bill for any criminal acts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
