I knew about Priscilla Owen, and suspected as much regarding "some" others, like the recently seated Janice Rogers Brown on the DC circuit.

I recall reading where her name was off the table,,, as per the cabal and Janice herself. She had already been thru hell and creation.

I had a personal conversation with Janice after the confirmation that leads me to believe otherwise. It was the nervous nellies who took her name off. She's a fighter and she knows what's at stake.

The other day Rush said he met Janice Rogers Brown. She told of detesting her regrettable confirmation ordeal. As the old saying goes, "Even a dumb dog doesn't kiss a hot stove twice." Look at what Miguel Estrada went through. What a shame.

Rush said on his show last Friday that he had met JRB at the Buckley bash and she told him he had no idea what it was like for a nominee to be filibustered for four years as she was.

I think the female who came in second was the CA judge from San Jose-a Hispanic. I think W wants the first Hispanic to be Gonsalez so she got passed over. I also think W "knows" that he will have one more slot to fill very soon and that is one reason he was anxious to pick someone that he deemed an easy confirmation and save the battle for the next one (or maybe even two).

Ah.........now we're seeing it all. Finally.

Shame on Krauthammer, and Kristol........for their antics in all of this. And shame on Coulter too.

Kristol Kreme loves McCain....nuff said.

I noted during the confirmation hearings that one week JR Brown was the incarnation of evil in the modern world, then after the Gang of 14 Compromise she was the Distinguished Jurist from California, and how it would take no great exercise of doublethink at all for the demorats to revert to the Whore Of Babylon assessment if she got nominated for SCOTUS.
