One Good Outcome

It is about time that Priscilla Owen, that fine justice of the Texas Supreme Court, has finally been confirmed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Senate on Wednesday approved Judge Priscilla Owen for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, more than four years after President Bush first nominated her.

The vote was 56-43.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist congratulated Owen and praised her as gracious, patient, bold and courageous.

"The fact that she is willing to put herself forward and has been beaten up mercilessly on the floor of the United States Senate but has stood tall ... says a lot for her," Frist said.

But Lincoln Chafee gave us one more reason to toss him from the GOP Caucus. He voted with the Democrats, in another cowardly betrayal of his party and his president.

1 Cowardly betrayal of his party and his president?

Must everyone be loyal to the party and the president?

Please, this is America. Quit calling others names if they do not vote for your kind.

2 So I guess that means that there will be no more accusations of "bigot", "homophobe", "extremist", "nazi", "fascist", etc., coming from you.

Oh, that's right -- you hold your enemies to a higher standard than you hold yourself.

5 As regards Chafee, he must be brain dead. His state is facing the closure of a major military base, Submarine Base Groton just over the border in neighboring Connecticut, and the loss of countless RI and CT jobs. Instead of attempting to curry favor in what will amount to a political calculation, he antagonizes the very people who are going to make the decision.

Let the Democrats have him.

6 How dare you twist the article around by not quoting every letter of it. Oh well, I guess it's just another case of an attack by The Dishonest And Intellectually Deficient Right.
