"Washington Post" This filibuster story is going to continue. I wonder if their is any voter backlash out there? Second Judicial Nominee Targeted Senate Democrats Plan Filibuster to Stop Selection of Owen Senate Democrats said yesterday they will block the judicial nomination of Priscilla R. Owen, marking the second time this year they have employed filibuster tactics to thwart President Bush's efforts to name conservatives to the federal bench. Democrats said Owen improperly inserted personal views into decisions while serving on the Texas Supreme Court. Owen now joins Miguel Estrada, nominated for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in waiting for an end to the Senate's increasingly contentious partisan impasse over judicial appointments. The administration scored one success yesterday when the Senate voted 51 to 42 to confirm former Ohio solicitor general Jeffrey Sutton to the Cincinnati-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. The vote was largely along party lines. washingtonpost.com
