Tani is perceived as moderate by those reporting on her, and is reported to be a Republican[1]. Nevertheless, with a majority of Republicans on the court, we have one of the most liberal courts in the nation. Yet none are ever labeled "liberal", only moderate. Moderate, then, in California, seems to mean moderate to liberal, and Republican justices seem to be quite susceptible to liberality. With Schwarzenegger having gone from moderate to liberal in his current term, I am also dubious of anyone he has picked. I would not feel safe with anything less than a conservative justice, so I am tempted to recommend a no vote. Nevertheless, I want to first examine her record.

Chief Justice Ronald George, who Tani Cantil-Sakauye would be replacing, is to be ending his term on January 2nd,[2] so presumably Tani Cantil-Sakauye will not have an opportunity to publish an opinion in the California Supreme Court before we vote in November. We shall have to content ourselves with her appeals court record.
