Contact Your U.S. Senator about Obama's Nominee

Goodwin Liu, the President's recent nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, hasn't practiced law for over 10 years, has no experience as a trial lawyer, served on the Board of the ACLU, and doesn't even meet the ABA's basic requirements for a federal judge.

Liu once joined an amicus brief suggesting that the Constitution's equal protection clause requires allowing same-sex couples to marry. And in a book he co-authored, Liu put forward the idea that judges should look to "evolving norms and social understandings" in interpreting the Constitution.

Let your Senator know how he should vote on this extremely controversial nominee.
