Grassley: Nominee Liu has 'Communist' China worldview
Thu May 19, 2011 at 09:10 AM PDT
Yesterday, Adam Bonin introduced us to Goodwin Liu, President Obama's nominee to the 9th Circuit. Liu's confirmation vote is today.
Some of those writings include an op-ed written six years ago in which Liu made the rather obvious point that conservative interest groups talk about "free enterprise," "private ownership of property," and "limited government" as "code words for an ideological agenda hostile to environmental, workplace, and consumer protections." That, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says, means that the Asian-American Liu is basically a Communist, in the Chinese vein, of course.
