Estrada, Pricilla Owens & Janice Brown all declined the offer, so Fred Barnes reported. It IS a very tough sell for the appointee.

I don't buy it. BTW, there are many qualified judges who could have, and would have been willing to be recess appointed to the 5 Circuit Court of Appeals.

Many? you said Estrada. I tried
to answer about the fillibustered
nominess. Both Owens & Brown have
long futures ahead on St. Supreme
Courts. Estrada is with a fine
law firm & is concerned for the
welfare of his wife & children.

Fred Barnes said Admin. sources
told him all three were offered
it & declined.

Believe what you will.
