Johnson to Qualified Judges: "Nyet!"

Tim Johnson has voted against Priscilla Owen for her appointment to the Fifth Circuit.  Given that she was unanimously declared "well qualified" by the ABA, their highest rating, one wonders what justification Johnson will give.  Probably some silliness about "temperament."  But Owen was endorsed (albeit cautiously) by the Washington Post.  Is it that she was called a "judicial activist" by Alberto Gonzalez when both were on the Texas Supreme Court?  Oopps.  That's not true (in addition to the hypocrisy of Democrats complaining about judicial activism).  Anxiously awaiting the explanation.
