Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the president is doing this, and wish he would do the same with the other nominees that have been unfairly held hostage by the Democrats, but I wonder if this is his way of throwing some red meat to conservatives after his immigration proposal didn't go over so well?

Nah, it's his response to Ted Kennedy's speech the other day :-)

I am in agreement that given the timing it looks like an attempt by W. to get conservatives back on board and to divert attention away from his illegal alien amnesty proposal.

While I certainly agree with the recess appointment (and think that ALL of the stalled nominees should have been given them) This move definitely sounds like it is all Karl Rove, taking a playbook out of the Dick Morris school of triangulation...
