Priscilla Owen Isn't Much Loved Among Fellow Jurists in Texas

This, from the Bar Association in Texas, reported by the Houston Chronicle:

Supreme Court of Texas
Judge Outstanding Acceptable Poor
Scott A. Brister (422) 36.9 20.7 42.4
Nathan L. Hecht (327) 40.3 17.4 42.3
Wallace B. Jefferson (270) 53.4 29.7 16.9
Harriet O'Neill (334) 55 30.5 14.5
Priscilla R. Owen (350) 39.5 15.2 45.3
Dale Wainwright (316) 48.7 25.7 25.7

[Sorry, no matter what I try to do here, the formatting goes back to sucky.]

I think what bothers me most here is how few of her colleagues find her acceptable, and that a significant majority find her knowledge and practice of law POOR. Once you get into specific cases she's handled, however, the situation gets much, much worse.
