Prof. Painter Quoted in San Francisco Chronicle on Liu's Nomination

Professor Richard Painter was quoted in an editorial by Deborah Saunders in the San Francisco Chronicle on the President's nomination of Godwin Liu to the Ninth Circuit. The op-ed disagreed with Professor Painter's overall assessment of Liu and was instead highly critical of Liu. The op-ed, however, agreed with Professor Painter's assessment that a GOP fillibuster would be destructive and would undermine a future Republican president's ability to make judicial nominations.
