I think the democrats let her through to embarrass Frist.

They know that they'll not get cloture, or enough votes to change the senate rule to forbid a filibuster.

Don't get me wrong but some day I long for Trent Lott as majority leader!

That's my thinking - force Frist's hand now, while the RINOs are enjoying their power.

What am I missing here? How could the Dems "let" Owens through the committee? It was a party-line vote, wasn't it? All Owens needed was for the Republicans to show up and vote in solidarity, right?
