Goodwin Liu May Be On Califoria Supreme Court in Time For Prop 8 Hearing
Via Zack Ford at Think Progress:
Goodwin Liu's nomination to the Ninth Circuit Court may have been derailed by Senate Republicans, but his nomination to California's Supreme Court is right on track.
The Commission on Judicial Appointments will consider Liu's appointment Wednesday, but the State Bar's Commission on Judicial Nominations has already given him its highest rating: "exceptionally well-qualified."
It's expected that, if confirmed, Liu -- who has previously spoken out for marriage equality -- will be seated in time for next week's hearing on proponents' standing in the Prop 8 case.
