Priscilla Owen Nomination is rejected by Senate Judiciary Committee. She is denied a full Senate vote as well.

Today after the Democrats defeated the nomination of Pricilla Owens,the first judicial nominee that was rated unanimously "well-qualified" by the American Bar Association to be rejected on a vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Tom Daschle said the following:

"The message is this: We will confirm qualified judges. Don't send us unqualified people."

I am sure that I'm not alone in my outrage. I'll await the response from NOW, I'm sure they'll let that sexist bastard hear what's what. Any moment now...
