Priscilla Owen Nomination (Archive)

Confirmed on May 25, 2005
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

A review of Justice Owen's record to date raises serious questions about her commitment to equal justice and civil rights for all Americans. Justice Owen's consistently conservative legal opinions reflect a judicial activism that falls outside the mainstream of judicial thought and seriously risk the continued vigorous enforcement of critical constitutional and statutory rights in the areas of civil rights and civil liberties.
