Rush came up with an explanation, don't know if it is rational.

Rush believes that GWB thinks the dignity of the presidency is so important , he has to make it appear above the fray.

Therefore he doesn't want to get in a peeing contest with congress, unless it is really really important, like vetoing the highway appropriations bill.

Over the years leftists have depended on judicial activism and fiat to enact much of their agenda. The future of their anti-individualist, big-government designs depend largely on the left's ability to keep Constitutionally oriented judges off the federal bench.

This right here is what makes this issue "really really important" and worth fighting for.

Rush is wrong. Bush should be taking the Senate Republicans to the woodshed more often to teach them to "fly right", rather than cower to the demands of the Democratic minority. We wouldn't be talking about 25 judges if only the Republicans in the Senate had some backbone and actually fought to get them passed. I watched the whole facade. Schumer and Corzine were pushing the Republicans around and had the Republican majority in the palm of their hands. There was no excuse for it. Bush stumped for many of these Republican Senators, and they actually let the Democrats take control.

Reagan had no trouble jumping into the fray and exposing the left's idiocy, while bringing an incredible amount of dignity to the office. Rush knows better.
