Goodwin Liu to Get Second Hearing

[usregimechange]

Goodwin Liu, Associate Dean and Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
Nominee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
39 Years Old

Republicans will get a second chance to question Goodwin Liu, who is one of President Barack Obama's most contentious judicial nominees, and Liu will get another opportunity to answer the criticism.

The Senate Judiciary Committee gave notice today that it will hold a second confirmation hearing for Liu. The hearing is set for Wednesday, March 2. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), a staunch supporter of the nominee, is scheduled to preside over the hearing.

Obama nominated Liu a year ago to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Widely seen as a potential future Supreme Court nominee, Liu is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. He’s also a former O’Melveny & Myers associate and former clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

[Tx4obama]

1. This is ridiculous. He already had a great hearing! Damn those republicans! n/t

[usregimechange]

2. More delay and dems are yet to force a vote

[Hawaii Hiker]

3. I don't know whether

this deserves a :woohoo: or a :banghead: because while its good that a hearing has been scheduled, Professor Liu has already been thru the committee, voted thru 12-7 (TWICE), it's time for the FULL senate vote...

[usregimechange]

4. Agreed, they have to force a vote, only option.
