I had to LOL when I read the blog post below.

I always knew that if I insisted on civil, reality based
debate on this thread, there'd be few takers who'd actually
do so within established guidelines. I also knew that almost
no libs would ever bother to try. And I also knew that those
libs who did come here would insist on uncivil, propaganda
based flame throwing they have come accustomed to.

It's one of those times I'm sorry to have made a correct prediction FWIW.


Invitation to Critics of Priscilla Owen

Patterico's Pontifications
By Patterico on Judiciary

Anyone who opposes the nomination of Priscilla Owen may explain why in the comments to this post. I am doing this because I have been engaged in a debate with some folks at Kevin Drum’s site, and someone suggested that we were straying off-topic. Rather than debate that point, I have decided to open this thread.

Please follow these simple rules:


1. Pick a specific opinion of hers that you are criticizing. It’s fine to pick more than one, but no generalizations, please.

2. If a Web link is available for the opinion(s) (they are often available on FindLaw), please provide it/them.

3. Read it before you criticize it.

4. Give us your own arguments, not just a link to the People for the American Way site, or to some other blog. Take the time to tell us in your own words what Owen did wrong in the opinion.

I can’t emphasize this point enough. I encourage you to provide links for your sources, of course — but don’t use that as an excuse to avoid independent argument. If you expect us to engage your arguments, show us that you have thought out the issues yourself.

5. Civil and respectful comments only, please — on both sides.

Go to it! I’ll link this post at the post on Drum’s site so as to attract some of the left-leaners who might have criticisms of Owen.

UPDATE: Hellloooooooo??? Anyone there??
