I guess it’s partisan gamesmanship whenever the loopy left wants one of its saboteurs to infiltrate the court and Americans spot the scam. But it’s just plain old protection of civil liberties when the same creeps Bork someone nominated by the right.
Give me more partisanship. That’s real diversity
The senate should refer to the following simple equation:
“UC Berkeley Law Professor” = “Wholly unqualified to be AY kind of judge”
He should have practiced some of the "civility" liberals love to lecture conservatives about. Actions have consequences, putz.
And Orrin will be FIRST IN LINE to confirm this whack-job, super leftist.
That guy Liu needs to be Borked and soon.
This editorial grossly, probably deliberately, misrepresents Liu’s record — ironically, while accusing his critics of misrepresenting LIU’s record.
Liu’s horrific, perjurious misrepresentations in opposition to Alito’s confirmation are just icing on the proverbial cake. He’s had virtually no track record as a lawyer, none as a judge, and, worst of all, substantively would easily be the most far-left of ANY justice, including Douglas, Brennan, Marshall, Ginsberg, Sotomayor and Kagan. When questioned about those substantive views at the two hearings, he has simply lied his fool head off.
“The characterization of The SF Chronicle as a sane publication does not hold up to reasonable scrutiny...”
What was the SF Comical's position on the "partisan gamesmanship stalling judicial nominations" back when W was nominating highly qualified minority judges to the appeals courts in California, and Washington, DC, and other places? Does the name Miguel ring any bells?
If Goodwin Liu gets confirmed, it will be a bad loss (get it?) for strict constructionism.
Amen.
