Obama Nominee Liu Believes Constitution Half Living, Half Breathing

Many have described Obama’s 9th-Circuit nominee Goodwin Liu as “brilliant,” but he’s not smart enough to know that rules apply to him also.

Like so many people nowadays, Barack Obama’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals nominee is a very confused man. He seems to believe that rules are made to be broken.

That is, at least by those with the clout to do the breaking.

Goodwin Liu, the University of California, Berkeley law professor nominated for the 9th Circuit, believes that judges have a right to impose their values on us from the bench — after, of course, running the Constitution through the spin cycle and divining from it a creative, unique meaning heretofore undiscerned by all the greatest legal minds in the annals of American jurisprudence.

a judge who cannot abide by the constitution, is no judge, but a joke.

Judicial appointments are a means by which leftist US Presidents leave their stench behind long after their terms in office expire.

Liu was once affiliated with the Communist ACLU (as was Associate SCOTUS Justice Ginsberg). Regardless of one's political leanings, this is an extremist group that has repeatedly demonstrated hostility to civil society. Such associations should permanently disqualify anyone from a seat on a Federal court.

The stench from the bench is making me clench.

PS To a modern "liberal" the US Constitution is a plaything; to be exploited and extolled when it might suit the radical left agenda and to discredit and impugn it when it does not.
