Gun Owners of America

Anti-gun Nominee Defeated!

Goodwin Liu Nomination Fail in Senate

 

 

On Thursday, the U.S. Senate rejected President Obama’s pick for a seat on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In a procedural motion that required 60 votes, Goodwin Liu’s nomination was defeated in a near-party line vote of 52-43.

 

Liu was perhaps the most radical of Obama’s judicial nominees. The UC Berkley law professor supported the notion that the language of the Constitution is sufficiently ambiguous to bend with the times.

 

“It becomes pretty clear why ‘originalism’ and ‘strict construction’ don’t make a lot of sense,” Liu said in an interview promoting his book. “The Framers deliberately chose... broad words so they would be adaptable to new challenges over time.”

 

In Liu’s view, the right to keep and bear arms may have been necessary in the 18th century, but no longer needed.

 

For these reasons, the Senate was flooded with emails from gun owners insisting that Liu be voted down.

While Liu’s defeat is a victory for Second Amendment supporters, it is also indicative that Obama is pursuing a course to pull the federal judiciary as far to the left as possible. GOA will continue to expose the disdain with which Obama’s nominees hold the Second Amendment.

The UC Berkley law professor <----That's all I had to read right there

Sadly no need to check how our senators voted.

Yea, that about sums it up right there..

 

I really wonder how some of them with their comments and views have been able to live as long as they have, not harm to them, just surprised they haven't had one of them "Hold my Beer and watch this moments"

 

And being there are 2 side to every coin, I guess it can't be that bad, if your really that out of touch with reality and just stupid, I guess you just don't know when you mess up, so I guess they may live a pressure free life.
