Looks like Bush is setting up a liberal for O'Connor's seat and we have all been betrayed by the "compassionate" conservative.

How do you get that from the fact that Judge Owen doesn't want another hearing so soon?

IF this story is true, she didn't "take herself of consideration". She would have done that long ago.

She was ASKED to take herself out of consideration.

And the only reason she would have been ASKEd would have been to deflect conservative ire for having another person, who could only be moe liberal, named.

But we shall wait and see.
