And so once again, the battle is joined...

Kathryn-Jean Lopez at NRO's The Corner reports that TX Sen. John Cornyn's office has comfirmed that the Senate Judiciary Committee has just voted 10-8 to submit (re-submit actually) to the full Senate the nomination of Judge Priscilla Owen for the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth District.

So the show-down on Judicial Filibuster Reform (i.e. the "constitutional" option) looms large. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase the Democrats beating up on a girl.

Seriously, though. The time to fight this battle is now, not this summer when a Supreme Court Justice retires. It's time for the members of the Republican caucus in the Senate to put their balls on the table (John McCain's balls, as we all know, are currently out of play).
