Obama appointee no 'moderate' judge

President Obama has nominated Federal Judge David Hamilton to the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Hamilton is being touted as a moderate, but Curt Levey of the Committee for Justice disagrees. "He's just your classic, liberal judicial activist on issues like abortion, criminal issues such as suppression of evidence and sex offenders, separation of church and state issues," he says.

It was Judge Hamilton who declared prayer in Jesus' name before the Indiana Legislature unconstitutional, but that decision did not stand for long. "He even had a run-in with theCurt Levey (Committee for Justice) appellate court, the Seventh Circuit, that said that what he was trying to rule in the case was outrageous," Levey points out. That is the same court to which Hamilton has been nominated.
