For example, i was on the fence about voting for a judge endorsed by both the Dallas and Houston papers. He doesn’t sound like, on the face of it, the type to rule based on a strict agenda and indeed, does have a reputation for adjudicating fairly. However, he also has the support of Texas State Attorney-Under-Indic...
