Assuming that the info about Judge Owen withdrawing her name is correct, I'd like to second what Quin Hillyer said:

Owen is a great lady and a great American, and will be a great conservative judge on the 5th Circuit. And she is young enough for future S. Court consideration. My bet is that she will prove her naysayers wrong and compile a distinguished record of principled and well-written conservative opinions. My hat is off to her. And she will always have my respect for her grace and grit under withering and unfair pressure for four years as a 5th Circuit nominee. If anybody who knows her personally reads this site, please pass on my warmest, most heartfelt, most admiring regards.

Well said. One caveat, though. I think her opinions will continue to be conservative not in a political sense, but in the sense of conserving the rule of law.
