Senate vote tomorrow [ May 19, 2011] on radical Obama nominee!
Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action
moved to bring the nomination of Goodwin Liu
to the Senate floor, setting up a potential
Thursday cloture vote on the highly
controversial judicial nominee.
Liu is far out of the judicial mainstream
and MUST BE OPPOSED IMMEDIATELY! See my
urgent message below - Mat.
Goodwin Liu is a dangerous judicial nominee who must be opposed! He has been called the worst of Barack Obama's nominees at any level of the federal court system. His Senate confirmation would move the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, already the most liberal appellate court in the nation, even further to the left!
Please take a moment to Consider Liu's lack of experience, his alarming judicial philosophy, and his out-of-touch political ideology:
*Liu is an unproven jurist. He has no experience
as a trial attorney and only practiced law
for about two years.
*Liu's judicial philosophy is totally
disconcerting! The fact is, Goodwin Liu is
an unapologetic judicial activist. Rather
than construing the Constitution in accordance
with the intent of its writers, Liu argues
that constitutional scrutiny "requires adaptation"
because of the "evolving norms of our society."
His view that we should have an "evolving" or
"living" Constitution subverts its ultimate
legal authority.
*Liu is an avowed social liberal, abortion
advocate, and same-sex marriage proponent.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said, "In Professor Liu's case, I believe the views expressed in his writings fall far outside the mainstream of the traditional American view of law and judging, going so far as to distort the meaning of plain words beyond reality."
Liu's lifetime appointment to the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals would be a dangerous mistake.
We must take action!

++Goodwin Liu is a bad nominee - even for Barack Obama!
Liu's concept of the Constitution is so misguided that he has stated that when adjudicating questions involving social values and concerns, courts should look to "public policies, institutions, and practices as well as predictive judgment," rather than solely to the Constitution and related legislation.
Liu has even confounded the Constitution to
the extent of propagating the idea that
individuals have a constitutional RIGHT TO
WELFARE!
Goodwin Liu not only lacks sufficient understanding of the Constitution for a lifetime appointment to the Ninth Circuit, but based on his affiliations and past writing, he is also decidedly BIASED on a number of important issues.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member
on the Senate Judiciary Committee said, "If
confirmed, I'm concerned that Mr. Liu will
deeply divide the Ninth Circuit and move that
court even further to the left."
President Obama has once again placed our nation in a precarious situation by nominating a radical leftist in Goodwin Liu!
Here's what I'm asking you to do...
#1 - Fax Your Senators!

#2. Call your Senators!
Because time is so short, I encourage you to also call your Senators. Firmly tell them to vote against cloture on the nomination of Goodwin Liu!
Our Fax Barrage will continue to flood Senate offices until the critical cloture vote. We have been told many times that this strategy really does make a difference! Time is of the essence to save the lives of millions of pre-born children and to protect the timeless institution of marriage between one man and one woman.
THANK YOU for supporting Liberty Counsel Action in this vital effort!
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action
P.S. Goodwin Liu is a totally unacceptable, dangerous nominee for a lifetime appointment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.He holds shockingly similar views to Barack Obama's social, political, and judicial policies, which would influence his rulings for decades to come - well past the end of the Obama presidency.
