Fox News composes a hit piece on Obama nominee (and potential SCOTUS nominee) Goodwin Liu
Edited on Thu Mar-04-10 09:11 PM by usregimechange

Goodwin Liu is President Obama's nominee to be a judge on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (Stanford University).


Even his critics describe him as "brilliant," but President Obama's newly minted judicial nominee -- law professor Goodwin Liu -- will not have an easy time getting to the 9th Circuit bench.

At age 39, Liu has compiled an impressive resume: Rhodes Scholar, Supreme Court clerk, top grades at both Stanford University and Yale Law School and now law professor University of California, Berkeley.

Liu has also aligned himself with progressive legal groups, including the American Constitution Society, where he is chairman of the board of directors. That's prompting opponents to argue that Liu is "too far outside the mainstream" to take a seat on a court just one step below the Supreme Court of the United States.

I don't recall their quoting people saying that about Justice Alito. This may be the start of a war that will continue when Obama nominates Liu to replace Justice Stevens this summer. Why would Fox News do this? I mean other than that the RNC told them to...
