I think you're right, and I think---could be wrong---but I think that the next judge after Owens will be quietly voted out of committee and through on the floor. This was a "save face" by the Dems. We can whine about the appearance, but that's all that it is, I think.

There is a philosophy of war, I think argued by no less than Sun Tzu, that says leave your enemy a "golden bridge" to retreat rather than annihilating him and you will destroy him ever so surely.

This doesn't work with Democrats or terrorists. If not annihilated, they will be back biting you in butt and/or trying to kill you next week.
