| #10 Forget Owen, let's hurry up and get future SCOTUS Chief Justice Brown on the federal bench. |

| #9 maybe so Steve, but Reid making a vague reference to something that may or may not be in his confidential FBI file was an abomination and should've been punished. |

| #8 Saad will get dumped -- that unfortunate letter he wrote is going to ruin him, and probably rightly so. Nominees can't expect to do that and win confirmation. |

| #4 Interesting that they omitted the links for Uriah Reid's bio and voting record. From FoxNews.com: Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee opposed her confirmation. Democratic Sens. Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana voted for Owen. Who abstained? |

| #3 I'll be interested in seeing what happens when Saad comes up for confirmation. Not to wish ill on him (he's already had enough of that), but it will be interesting to see the Dems badmouthing an Arab in public. In the Senate. I hope the Repubs use that against them. We'll see. |

| #2 Great until the Dhim's start another filibuster. The Repubs need to grow a spine. |
