Goodwin Liu's primary areas of expertise are constitutional law, education policy, civil rights, and the Supreme Court. His latest work in progress, "Education, Equality, and National Citizenship," seeks to anchor a federal legislative duty to remedy educational inadequacy and inequality in the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.

Before joining the Boalt faculty in 2003, Liu was an appellate litigator at O'Melveny & Myers in Washington. He clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during the October 2000 term and for Judge David Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from 1998 to 1999. He also served as special assistant to the deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Education from 1999 to 2000, and as senior program officer for higher education at the Corporation for National Service (AmeriCorps) from 1993 to 1995.
Liu, a Rhodes Scholar, serves on the board of directors of the American Constitution Society in Washington, the ACLU of Northern California, and Chinese for Affirmative Action in San Francisco.

On the other hand, Issacharoff (sp?) wants an outcome driven jurist.
Leahy and the boys had all kinds of time to ask the justices but they chickened out.
LOL..probably!
He uses his moustache wax on his head..when he gets done with the moustache.
but isn't that perfect? the Dems are 'outcome driven' by everything.
I don't know......Calif. somewhere. SF or Berzerkly would definitely fit.
Well, that's certainly a mouth-full.
I should stop now.
Issacharoff has questions but no answers.
Obviously a ChiCom.
He teaches (such as it is) at Boalt Hall. That would be Berkeley.
Once again Leahy is bothered. Now thinks President has violated the law. What a joke!
Leahy says that the congressional research group says that bush has violated the law with the wiretaps
Ironically, he cited Tennessee v. Garner, a USSC case decided in 1985, ironic, because Justice O'Connor wrote a dissenting opinion that is in agreement with the memo that Professor Lieu (sp?)cited.
Garner was a 15-year-old burglar shot by Tennessee police after they shouted for him to halt and after he began to climb over a fence to get away. Tennessee law, as was as a number of other states, allowed the use of deadly force in situations like that. Justice O'Connor, whom Judge Alito would be replacing, was of the same mind as Judge Alito, though both were in the minority.
She tried to accentuate how much those other troglodytes in the Reagan DOJ hated dealing with him, in contrast to Samuel Alito, who I can only infer catered to their reactionary inclinations.
*eye roll*
How did that dry-blown airhead ever manage to become the "chief legal analyst" of NPR?
I squish his head.
