This week marks a great opportunity to eliminate yet another of President Obama's liberal activist candidates from getting a lifetime federal judgeship, in this case on the notoriously liberal--and often overturned--9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

In November the commander-in-chief nominated pro-abortion radical Andrew Hurwitz to fill a vacancy on the San-Francisco-based appellate court. In late January Hurwitz appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee and his nomination was reported to the full Senate in March. He must be confirmed by the full Senate, which gives lawmakers a great opportunity to keep another liberal activist away from the federal bench.

Hurwitz currently sits on the Arizona Supreme Court. He got that job in 2003 thanks to then Governor Janet Napolitano, now Obama's Secretary of Homeland Security. In a letter asking senators to vote against Hurwitz, a Texas congressman (the House doesn't participate in the process) points out the following; Hurwitz played a key role authoring two 1972 decisions which are clearly reflected and expanded upon in the Supreme Court's infamous abortion ruling on Roe. v. Wade.
