President Bush bypassed a Democratic filibuster yesterday by installing Alabama Attorney General William H. Pryor to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

The wailing and gnashing of teeth begin.

In several months it will be deafening,

Life is good.

Mr. Pryor responded: "My wife and I had two daughters who at the time of that vacation were 6 and 4. We made a value judgment and that was our personal decision."

said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat. "The only solace we have is that Mr. Pryor will be off the bench in ten months."

It would appear that the easiest way to offend a Democrat is to oppose infanticide or be unwilling to hand your children over to sodomites.

Love to see little tommy and ted the swimmer when they 1st heard this.

Tommy is deeply saddened, (I couldn't resist)

Don't you just love it when Chucky responds to anyone who challenges him. Thank you GWB!

[DoctorMichael]

Bump.

"Well, I believe that not only is the case unsupported by the text and structure of the Constitution, but it has led to a morally wrong result," he told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It has led to the slaughter of millions of innocent unborn children."

Nothing like the lash of truth to get some howls out of the evil party.

[verity]

One more such appointment and the Swimmer may permanently vapor lock! :~)

[rrrod]

a note to all spineless republicans in the house and senate....SEE HOW NICE IT IS WHEN A LITTLE BACK BONE IS USED???

"Bush again installs a judge at recess"

And that was right after the teeter-tooter snapped under the weight of Teddie the K and Barney the Frank's game of leapfrog turned ugly......

[AD from SpringBay]

Outraged Democrats, who have cited Mr. Pryor's opposition to abortion when blocking a full Senate vote on him, yesterday accused Mr. Bush of circumventing the judicial-nomination process.

Pro-abortion, the one and only perfectly acceptable litmus test.

"In light of this record, can you understand why a gay plaintiff or defendant would feel uncomfortable coming before you as a judge?" asked Sen. Russell D. Feingold, Wisconsin Democrat.

Worshipping homosexual sodomy is now a prerequisite for the federal judiciary.

[Northern Yankee]

Democrats are mad because Bush was Circumventing the judicial-nomination process ?

Boy... talk about Chutzpah! These Dems have cornered the market.

[Political Junkie Too]

The president is on shaky ground with the hard right and is using this questionably legal and politically shabby technique to bolster himself," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat. "The only solace we have is that Mr. Pryor will be off the bench in ten months."

I still can't get this part straight in my head.

I thought that the Constitution says that recess appointments last until the end of the NEXT session of Congress. If we are now in the second session of the 108th Congress, doesn't that mean that Pryor's appointment is good until the end of the first session of the 109th Congress? Doesn't that make his end date the end of 2005, and not 10 months from now?

You are correct. Bush will send the RATs into a higher orbit of self-flaggelating hate. There is a structure for these things. All I can do is guess...

You mean in the way Bill Clinton did it?

Somebody call a waaaaaaaaambulance!

Mr. Pryor also was accused of being insensitive to homosexuals because he rescheduled a family vacation to Disney World to avoid "Gay Day" at the theme park.

That was a personal decision Pryor made in his personal life, and is quite frankly none of the Senate's damn business. And if I had been sitting there instead of Pryor, that's exactly what I would have told that facist Feingold.

[ServesURight]

Feingold is socialist pond scum. I hope he loses in November - there are 3 or 4 great conservative Republican candidates vying for his seat.

[Joe Republc]

Coincidence or not, the timing is great.

The judge in California clearly have decided that the direct will of the people in law is not as important as his own view of morality.

This will be the first major election that I can remember were the matter of judges has caught so much public attention.
