Has Obama tipped his hand with regard to his Supreme Court strategy ? Midknight Review thinks so.

Is he as liberal as some on the Right fear? We do not know, as of yet. BUT he is an Obama favorite AND he is just 39. So, the man starts off with two strikes.

Out of the NY Times, we have this: The first major appeals-court nomination fight of the Obama presidency may be shaping up over Goodwin Liu, a highly qualified teacher and legal scholar. Mr. Liu, nominated to the San Francisco-based United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, is raising hackles on the right because of some of his legal views, and because he is seen as a strong candidate for the Supreme Court in the near future. The White House and Senate Democrats should fight hard for the confirmation.

Editor's notes: here's the problem -- and it is a big deal. The man, as liberal a fellow as a there is, is only 39 years of age. If appointed to the 9th District, will he become Obama's nominee to the High Court should Ginsburg retire (she will do that during Obama's first term, you know). No one is saying that Liu is more liberal than Ginsburg. But he is 39. If appointed to the High Court, the Marxists would secure that seat on the Court for, perhaps, the next 40 years.
