This potential appointee is a real lib moonbat. See some of his “judgments”.
I tried to look up Chen’s judgments. Google is spammed heavily with “loyal American” and “smear”.
Mark Levin mentioned last night just how wacky this nutcase is, what Sidney Deadfish Blumenthal would call a regular Foxtrot R-word. I’ve yet to find anything to compare with the reeking heap Chen was exposed to be by the Great One. Here is what I found from Washington Times:

Chen is a good poster-boy for the ACLU. He says displays of patriotism give him “feelings of ambivalence and cynicism”. Ten days after 9-11-01, he said that one of his first thoughts about the terror attack was a “sickening feeling in my stomach” about US race relations and “religious tolerance”. He wrote: “One has to wonder whether the seemingly irresistible forces of racism, nativism and scapegoating which has [sic] recurred so often in our history can be effectively restrained.”
Regarding Sotomeyor: “Simply put, a judge’s life experiences affect the willingness to credit testimony or understand the human impact of legal rules upon which the judge must decide. These determinations require a judge to draw upon something that is not found in the case reports that line the walls of our chambers. Rather judges draw upon the breadth and depth of their own life experience.... Inevitably, one’s ethnic and racial background contributes to those life experiences.”
[End of summary]
The Great One believes that Scott Edward had to speed up his seating specifically to block Chen’s rubber stamp.
Leftist spin is that Chen simply hates the song, “America the Beautiful”. It runs much deeper than that, but so far as I know, Mark Levin’s first hour on Thursday is the best place to learn the truth about this nutjob.
