Liu is a renowned scholar for his work on constitutional law as well as civil rights policy, education policy as well as law and the Supreme Court.
He also wrote the majority decision of Apple v. Superior Court, where he decided that online merchants are allowed to continue asking for the details of the holder of the credit card like home addresses and telephone numbers in the course of completing a transaction by credit card. The issue stemmed out of the Song-Beverly Credit Card Act of 1971, which was designed to ensure the privacy of consumers when shopping in stores. Liu however ruled in favor of Apple in a decision that said “because we cannot make a square peg fit a round hole, we must conclude that online transactions involving electronically downloadable products fall outside the coverage of the statute.”

On February 24, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Liu to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

On May 19, 2011, the Senate rejected cloture on Liu’s nomination in a 52–43 vote, and on May 25, 2011, Liu informed President Obama that he was withdrawing his name from consideration to the seat on the Ninth Circuit, telling the president that “With no possibility of an up-or-down vote on the horizon, my family and I have decided that it is time for us to regain the ability to make plans for the future.”

However, Liu’s nomination was harshly criticized by Senate Republicans for allegedly failing to disclose 117 of his more controversial writings and speeches. On April 6, 2010, Liu submitted the 117 requested items to the committee as a supplemental to the original questionnaire. The committee hearing had been postponed twice particularly due to Republican opposition to Liu’s judicial qualifications and record. Liu defended his writings as a scholar by saying that “there’s a clear difference between what things people write as scholars and how one would approach the role of a judge”. On April 6, 2010, a letter was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy by the seven committee Republicans to request a third postponement, which was subsequently rejected. Liu was also criticized for lack of trial-level experience. Prior to his nomination, Liu had not served as a judge and had argued only one case at the appellate court level as a lawyer.
On May 17, 2011, Senator Harry Reid filed a cloture motion on Liu’s nomination. On May 19, 2011, the Senate rejected cloture in a mostly party-line vote of 52–43, with all but one Democrat (Ben Nelson) voting in favor of cloture and all but one Republican (Lisa Murkowski) voting against. He became the first Obama judicial nominee to be successfully filibustered in the Senate. With the makeup of the Senate unlikely to change until after the 2012 election, Liu withdrew his name from consideration on May 25, 2011. On July 29, 2011, three days after California Governor Jerry Brown nominated Liu to a seat on the Supreme Court of California, President Obama formally notified the Senate that he was withdrawing Liu’s nomination for the 9th Circuit. In a talk before The City Club of Cleveland on February 22, 2013, Liu commented that the confirmation process is “inherently a political process” and “the Constitution was designed to make it a political process.” He noted, however, that the problem with the confirmation process is that it has become transformed into requiring 60 votes as opposed to a bare majority, which was not part of the Constitutional design.
