Two New Options for Goodwin Liu..

[Cha]

>snip<

By Jonathan Zasloff

To the surprise of exactly no one, Senate Republicans will filibuster Goodwin Liu’s nomination to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. As I argued yesterday, this really shouldn’t matter if the administration’s eventual goal is to appoint Liu to the United States Supreme Court: many of the greatest justices had no or virtually no judicial experience before coming onto the high bench. But if the administration really believe that Liu has to have some judicial experience beforehand, there are a couple of other options:

1) Give Liu a recess appointment to the Ninth Circuit. This will last until the end of the current Congress. With more than a year and a half of experience on the federal bench, Liu will have more judicial training than John Marshall Harlan, Clarence Thomas, or Elana Kagan. Temporary Article III judgeships are going to be more and more common as long as Senate Republicans have decided to make the Senate dysfunctional. (It’s bad for the judiciary as an institution, but the GOP doesn’t care about institutions.).

When I read they filibustered Liu the other day I was hoping somehow Team Obama could give Liu the job they wanted to.

It's really weird because when I've encounted captcha before on other sites I've always had trouble with it but on Benen's I've yet to miss one. Watch..now I will..
