Pelavin: "It is a shame that the judicial confirmation process has devolved to the point where a nominee as qualified as Prof. Liu cannot even get a confirmation vote."
Rabbi Saperstein: "Today's vote is a disturbing reminder that obstructionist tactics have become the rule instead of the exception for judicial nominations."
Rabbi Saperstein: "Jewish tradition teaches of the importance of a fair and just judiciary, and there is nothing fair nor just about the obstruction that plagued Professor Liu's nomination."
Pelavin: "The Senate should seize this second chance to give Professor Liu the fair consideration that every judicial nominee deserves."
