JOHN DEVINE SHARES HIS THOUGHTS: Why I am the best candidate for Texas Supreme Court Justice Place #4

by John Devine
For Your Thought Matters Readers

For nearly 18 years I have served in various forms of judicial capacities in the state of Texas either as a special judge or a district judge. I believe I have the perquisite qualities necessary to serve in the highest court in Texas. These attributes are: personal restraint, moral integrity, academic excellence, self-sacrifice, spirit of service, firm reliance on God, humble nature, and undying respect for the Constitution. You might know me as the “10 Commandments Judge.” Where I received national acclaim for refusing to remove a painting of the Ten Commandments from his courtroom and defeated a related lawsuit by liberal activists.

JUSTICE DAVID MEDINA SHARES HIS THOUGHTS: Why I am the best candidate for Texas Supreme Court Justice Place #4

For Your Thought Matters Readers

I have served six years on the Texas Supreme Court and am asking for your vote as I seek re-election to Texas’ highest civil court. I am a conservative jurist who believes firmly in the rule of law. My work and my opinions are guided by the Texas Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas. Prior to my service on the court, I served as General Counsel to Governor George W. Bush and as an elected District Court Judge in Harris County. I have also worked for Cooper Industries in Houston. These varied jobs have prepared me well to sit on the Supreme Court where we hear civil cases of every kind. I have received the endorsement of Governor Rick Perry, Texas Alliance for Life, Texas Right to Life, Texans for Law Suit Reform, Texas Farm and Ranch Bureau as well as many other business and socially conservative groups.
