Goodwin Liu, who is 39, was nominated to be an appellate judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals earlier this year and submitted this:
[…] links to YouTube videos of lectures and talks he gave, along with 573 pages of public writings, new articles about him, syllabi from courses he taught, statements about legal issues, etc. Liu searched 36 websites, including the ACLU of Northern California and Yale Law School, for any mentions of himself.
Even so, he’s had to amend his disclosure four times to add more, and send groveling letters to the Judiciary Committee:
In the latest correspondence, he writes that he missed some public appearances that he should have known about initially and that he did not think to include appearances at such occasions as brown bag lunches and alumni gatherings.
And he gets this from Jeff Sessions:
[T]he Ranking Member of the committee, said that based on the “glaring omissions” Liu may have “knowingly attempted to hide his most controversial work.” The letter was signed by all seven Republicans on the committee.“Professor Liu’s unwillingness to take seriously his obligation to complete these basic forms is potentially disqualifying and has placed his nomination in jeopardy,” Sessions wrote.
I’d like to know more about Elena Kagan, but judging from Liu’s experience, the one thing I know with certainty is that she was smart to keep her mouth shut.
