but not on goodwin. tom campbell who served nine years as a republican congressman from california said -- quote -- "goodwin will bring scholarly distinction and a strong reputation for integrity, fair-mindedness and collegiality to the ninth circuit. reflecting on liu's many years of work in serving the public interest, campbell also said i am not surprised that liu has again been called to public service." so it goes on and on. i'll give you another republican. brian jones who serves as a general counsel at the department of education from 2001-2005 under george w. bush after liu's tenure there, this is what he said about goodwin. that speaks to the heart and soul of this good human being. -- quote -- "during 2001 and 2002 and even after he became a law professor in 2003, goodwin volunteered his time and expertise on several occasions to help me and my staff sort through legal issues. in those interactions, goodwin's efforts were models of bipartisan cooperation." listen. in all those interactions, goo
