The Dobbs case was decided correctly from a purely legal basis. However, the effect of that decision was to strip medical privacy and access from nearly half the population. Roe v. Wade was a forced, rushed job to push through a manufactured case to achieve a policy goal. Personal medical procedures should be be allowed to be made by the individual and their doctor without interference from the government. Having the states' decide their policies appears to be the best approach for the time being, until a proper case involving these factual issues arises from among the several states and is properly brought before the Supreme Court.

Individual bodily autonomy is a core human right. However, ending a human life is not something to be taken lightly, whether in the justice system or as a medical procedure. Any allowance for accelerate ending a human life should be accompanied with extensive therapeutic applications, medicinal and interactive. Ultimately, the individual and their medical professional should make such a decision without the interference of government.

Religious liberty is for everyone, provided that it does not impose itself on others in a restrictive fashion. For example, if we are to have religious oriented materials in a public facility, e.g. the 10 Commandments, then we must allow any faith to similarly display their selected text. The freedom to express oneself in speech and religion is inherently American, but it must not be suppressive of another's expression thereof, or forcibly subject someone to something they do not believe.

Non-religious. Be kind to others, improve yourself and your behavior daily.

Parental rights are absolute in the upbringing of their children. They should have unrestricted ability to choose their children's school type, educational approach, and curricula. I was homeschooled my entire grade school life, and, while I learned alot later college and the "real world", I was well prepared to ascertain for myself a a young well-educated adult

Constitutionally protected classes have been established through extensive litigation and argumentation, and they are intended to protect objectively demonstrative personal qualities - race, religion, gender, etc. The subjective and fluctuating nature of gender identity disqualifies it from being considered a "protected" class.

We are each capable of amazing good, and terrible evil. It is imperative that we who seek good feed that part of ourselves, and encourage others to do the same for themselves.

I moved out of Texas for work in 2016, and was disturbed by how caustic the political discussion had become, so I took a break until I returned to Texas in 2021, where I joined the Libertarian Party. As such, I ran for Texas State Representative - District 49 in 2022, and to do so under Texas law, I had to not participate in any primaries. Similarly, for 2024, I did not vote in any primaries, but will be participating in the General Election.

My judicial philosophy is underpinned by the Libertarian Platform as stated by the Libertarian Party of Texas. As to practical approach, my philosophy builds from the Constitution and adheres to strong precedent as authoritative. However, I also include some amount of concern for the real world effect of any legal decisions on the citizens of Texas, and would utilize that to guide my thought process through any actual "grey" areas.
