I don't know if this guy has a prayer of getting confirmed. But law professor Goodwin Liu has been nominated by Obama for 9th Circuit Court...a step below the supreme court.
He has an impressive background....but his reguard..or lack there of for the constitution is scarey.
"Applications of constitutional text and principles must be open to adaptation and change ... as the conditions and norms of our society become ever more distant from those of the Founding generation."
Well ya...it is called making an amendment to the constitution. Done by Congress. But he seems to think he can "change" it how ever he feels cause he is a "judge". Yet another judge who thinks he can legislate from the bench.
What do you think? Has he got a prayer? Should he have a prayer of getting confirmed? I am hoping he doesn't. A judges job is to uphold the law and constitution...not change it to what he see fit on any given day.
If he wants to change the law or constitution...than he need to run for congress...not be a judge.

ya...which is why we don't need more of them..also this guy is a law professor...he has NEVER been a judge...NEVER. Yet Obama wants to make him a judge in the 9th circuit.
What is Obama thinking?

He will get confirmed, all of the other wackos have.
You got to love a guy that thinks it his prerogative to change the Constitution to fit his desires. The egotism that goes into a guy that think he knows what is best for everyone. At lest when Congress acts this way you have over 400 egos in the House and 100 egos in the Senate. Also at lest these ego have to face the voter ever now and then, but an out of control judge is set for life.

I hate that judges are set for life...no matter how bad they do their jobs.
They need to be elected...and then to be re-elected.

It is no surprise who he was nominated by and to be honest the scary part is that he probably will be confirmed. I look at it as another drop in the bucket for washing away everything this country fought so hard to be buildt on to begin with.

I will wish right along with you....I do think we have a shot at not getting him confirmed...he has never been a judge. No expirence at all. So how can we put someone as a judge in the 9th circuit who has never been one. This guy has spent his career in a classroom teaching.
