Appellate court nominee Priscilla Owen went down to defeat yesterday in the Senate Judiciary Committee, 10-9, as Democrats bowed once again to liberal feminist interest groups

The Dems are so devoid of probity it isn't even funny.

That is so true. Perhaps a photo of their donkey should be in the dictionary next to the entry for improbity. A+.

that cloud may just have a VERRRRRRY silver lining

Judge Owen is hugely popular with her fellow Texans, 84% of whom voted for her in the last state Supreme Court election. Judicial nominations aren't typically an issue in Senate campaigns, but Democrats have made them one this year. If Mr. Cornyn's election means that Republicans regain Senate control, then President Bush would certainly renominate her. Texas voters would get the judge they want, and Senate liberals the justice they deserve.
