The difference in this nomination hearing and those of Owens or Charles Pickering, who was rejected in March, is the degree of support behind McConnell from both liberals and conservatives.
Hundreds of U.S. law professors have signed a letter to the Judiciary Committee to declare their support. As the letter says, many of the signatories are "Democrats who did not vote for the President who nominated Professor McConnell." The letter continues:
Some of us have disagreed with McConnell on constitutional issues and undoubtedly will disagree with him again. All of us, however, hope that the Senate will confirm Professor McConnell without greater delay than is necessary to fulfill its important Constitutional responsibilities. In our view, Michael McConnell is a nominee of exceptional merit whose confirmation warrants bipartisan support.
