This is posted as breaking news on msnbc's website. Did a search and didn't see it anywhere. Nothing follows for now. Anyone know anything?

[Lady Jag]

Fox just announced it.

[RightWingMama]

Yipee!!!

[Catspaw]

GONG! FN alert!

And it's about Pickering's recess appointment. He's in until January, 05, according to Shep Smith.

Thanks...just doing my FR duty best I can, being deskbound and all!

Well, not really that good of news.

Pickering's term on the court will automatically end at the end of the current session of the Senate--Dec 2004. So technically, Pickering will be on the bench one year. Thereafter, his position will be open again.

GWB should have done this 2 years ago when he first nominated Pickering.

[July 4th]

Sweet...score one for the President.

[Petronski]

I don't know, but if this is a recess appointment, all I can say is

Yippeekiyay m*****f*****!

[Aeronaut]

Tommy is deeply saddened.

In other words, a royal F--- you to Daschle & Hillary & their sycophants.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

This is really great news! I am so happy! Pickering was put through the mill by the stupid lying RATS and I am so glad he got this recess appointment. He deserves it!

[geedee]

Well, well, well....I think Fox will announce it as soon as their MJ coverage is completed. That should be around Tuesday.

ROFLMAO!!!! I'm absolutely sick of their obsession with this damn case. I stopped watching Fox News and foxnews.com has been taken off my favorites list. Methinks they're getting a bit cocky and careless.

Better late then not at all

[RWR8189]

Shephard Smith said they have to get all their I's dotted and T's crossed before they report this breaking news.

I don't know why they'd do such a thing. They usually sound the gong for just about anything.

[RowdyYates]

Can someone explain the rules at the end of his term, i.e. - does the Senate then have to vote up or down?

[johnb838]

Would that Big Arrow go by the name.... BORK by any chance?????

[abner]

I am stunned.

Just stunned.

How about the others?

Ok, so never enough for me...

[KantianBurke]

bout damn time.
