[edit] Proposed deletion

I object to the proposed deletion of the page on Barry Goode for five reasons: 1) Federal judicial appeals-court nominations have become increasingly controversial, and Goode is relevant because his name keeps being brought up (all throughout this decade) by U.S. Sens. Pat Leahy and Dianne Feinstein (google it to see) as one of 17 non-acted-on nominations in the latter part of Clinton's presidency. 2) given his still-young age, it's reasonable to think that Goode may well be renominated again for the Ninth Circuit by a Democratic president; 3) In the case of Goode, given that Helene White now has been nominated by Bush to an appeals-court slot (during Clinton's presidecy, she had gone four years without her nomination being acted upon), Goode will end up being one of the single longest un-acted-upon judicial nominations in U.S. history. That alone qualifies Goode for being notable. 4) On top of that, he was very active in Gray Davis' final years as California governor, being involved in the Duke Energy flap and also in the governor's dealings with Oracle. 5) Finally, Goode had a distinguished and newsworthy career as an environmental lawyer that I should probably expand on under that portion for the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarvishunt (talk • contribs) 13:54, 11 May 2008
