Senate GOP Refuses Vote on Obama Judges, Including Pro-Abortion Goodwin Liu
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- While most of the attention in the Senate last week was focused on its approval of pro-abortion activist Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination, Republicans refused votes on other judicial nominees President Barack Obama put forward. That includes pro-abortion appeals court nominee Goodwin Liu.

Senate Republicans declined in six instances last week to allow a unanimous consent request from Democrats to vote on Obama's judicial nominees.

As a result, the Senate returned those six nominations to the White House, according to Family Research Council legislative guru Tom McClusky.

"While some of President Obama’s nominees were given a reprieve due to a deal struck between Democratic and Republican leadership two of his most controversial judicial appointees were sent back to the President (alongside 100 other nominees)," he said.

"One of the two, Goodwin Liu, nominee to the Ninth Circuit Court, is a firm believer in the rule of international law and has shown nothing but disrespect for the Senate Judiciary Committee," McClusky added.

Liu was appointed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and another pro-abortion nominee was Louis Butler for a federal district court position in Wisconsin.

The pro-life advocate said he expected Obama would send the nominations back to the Senate. If Obama choose to re-nominate them, they would be considered new nominations and the Senate would send them to the Judiciary Committee to full hearings. Full story at LifeNews.com
