Federal court nomination

Why was the mention of criticism by Whelan at National Review Online removed? 192.12.184.2 (talk) 16:29, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pointing out that National Review criticizes an Obama nomination is about as useful and surprising as pointing out Huffington Post criticizing a Bush nomination.128.2.51.144 (talk) 19:44, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Judicial Service

The last sentence of "career" says: "Liu has never served as a Judge in his entire legal career."

This language is suspicious. I think it should either be removed or changed to something more like "Prior to his appointment to the Ninth Circuit, Liu had not served as a judge."

Opinions?

I think its important to tell the reader that he hadn't previously been a judge. As to how it should be worded I think your suggestion is fine so long as you change appointment to nomination since he hasn't yet been appointed.Chhe (talk) 04:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Stalling tactics"

This description of the reasons for the second delay is clearly not neutral as written. If you can find a quote where a figure of public significance has described them as "stalling tactics", it would be appropriate to include that. 97.123.117.18 (talk) 15:48, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it could be worded more neutrally, but I wasn't able to find yet what specific legislative action was used so that I could substitute it for the words "stalling tactics". I think its important though to inform the reader that the precedings were postponed twice followed by a third attempt to get them postponed that Leahy decided to reject. P.S. as far as the "figure of public significance" goes the ref seems to suggest that it was Senator Leahy who said that.Chhe (talk) 17:13, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Easy enough to put quote marks around it then. 192.12.184.2 (talk) 14:06, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
