Lisa4Catholics,
I personally think Gonzales would be a very risky selection to the Supreme Court for the Pro-Life Movement. We really do not know where he stands on the issue of abortion.
People do label Gonzales conservative but he has ruled in favor of the Pro-Aborts on the few abortion cases he had so far. I really would not like this pick unless I am missing something here.
Remember, I think it was Reagan who selected Souter to the Supreme Court. Everyone thought he would be conservative and Pro-Life. Well he ended up liberal and Pro-Abortion and 4,500 unborn babies have been killed each day because of this selection.
I think Pres. Bush may pick Gonzales because he may be easier to get approved by Congress than a 100% Pro-Life candidate. President Bush’s job approval rating is now hurting with the American people. I do not think he will pick a solid 100% Pro-Life candidate right now because he cannot afford it even though he owes it to us Pro-Lifers who put him in office.
Just my thoughts.

Justice Souter was picked by President Bush the 1st.

I seem to recall (I must admit that I was in “Pro-Choice” at the time - It was part of the 20 year trip down the Road to Jerrico) that he didn’t seem all that Pro-Life or Conservative when I read some of his writings when he was nominated time. There was nothing in them to indicate that he didn’t accept the strict interpretation of Roe v. Wade.
Remember George Bush the 1st was NOT really a conservative, and the really nasty fight over Clarence Thomas just freaked him out (He was a Senator for 16 years and had NEVER gone through ANYTHING like the fights over Judge Bork or Justice Thomas), so he choose the “path of least resistance” and oversold it to Conservatives all over America (Hoping they’d never read Justice Souter’s writings and realiza how badly he had betrayed them).
OTH, George Bush the 2nd is a Conservative, and I don’t think these fights have freaked him out nearly as much they did his father. But, we do have to help him to make the “Right” choices by showing him that (NO mater what the news says) we’ll support those choices. THAT’S THE REASON FOR E-MAILING THE PRESIDENT!
I’ve found that it get’s alwefully hard to do the right thing when the only voices you hear are those who are condemning that and telling you to do all the other things. That’s true even for the President of the United States or for a Saint of God.
So, please make sure you E-mail the President, and the Senators, and let them know you will support a PRO-LIFE STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST/CONSTITUTIONIST.
That will help him to NOT do the EASY thing the LIBERALS and MODERATES want him to do and to do the HARD and RIGHT thing we do.
Blessed are they who act to save God’s Little Ones. Michael
