A judge is supposed to uphold the constitution. Liu has made it clear that that his not view of the role of the judiciary. So, yes, that is an appropriate criterion to assess a potential judge, given that Congress is not inclined to impeach judges for abusing their powers once they are appointed to the lifetime position.

Your don’t seem very concerned with whether he is qualified to judge (i.e. analytical skill, organizational skills, understanding of the law, ability to be rational). Instead, your whole argument seems to center on your distaste for his perspective. Is that really appropriate criteria to assess a judge?

Ted, you seem to be quoting Liu without providing any context beyond a couple words (e.g., “free enterprise”). I can’t really discern what Liu actually said — do you have a link to something more than that?
