Mr. Liu does need closer examination, but not solely on the basis of what Townhall.com reports (whether we agree or not). Per Mr. Liu’s profile at UC Berkeley website he graduated in 1998, so that’s only 12 years of job experience. He’s been on faculty at UCB since 2003, so that’s only 7 years of non-academic work. Geez, let him do some work at the County DA’s office or as a public defender. I want to know that he’s got adequate courtroom experience before he works at a high judicial post. Why can’t the administration find someone with at least 20 years experience that’s dealt with a wide variety of issues.

>>>Whim of moment should not trump will of people<<<

And here I thought rule of law is what guides judges. Silly me.

I found this article interesting but one-sided.

I’m against this nominee. The whim of the moment should not trump the will of the people.
