Another Judicial Radical

By Quin Hillyer on 10.25.09 @ 9:05PM

Today at the Washington Times we highlight yet another horribly radical lefty that Obama is trying to foist on us. Judicial nominee Ed Chen thinks America is almost irredeemably racist, plus he is a big backer of the "empathy standard" that even Sonia Sotomayor was forced to abandon. Meanwhile, a hat tip to our friendly bloggers at Red County, who were onto Chen before the Times was. Most of what we said at the Times (about 85% of it) came from stuff Red County already noted. Also, a hat tip to Red County's Chip Hanlon, whose brilliant idea it was last week to have a whole host of bloggers call for liberal Dede Scozzafava to withdraw from the congressional race in New York, which I noted in this space on Thursday. Agree or disagree with the effort, the effective viral networking that Chip catalyzed is a good development in the righty blogosphere.
