Hilary Rosen yesterday included Priscilla Owen in her pronouncement that the three nominees getting cloture are "some of the most homophobic jurists ever nominated." Since Owen will reportedly be voted on today, I was looking into her more extensively than I had. I found, for example, a lengthy investigation of her background and judicial opinions by an organization opposed to her appointment. What I didn’t find was any hint of homophobia (and I don’t think the group evaluating her would have shrunk from mentioning any if they’d found it).
