WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush sidesteps Congress and names Mississippi Judge Charles Pickering to federal appeals court, sources say.

W, U got guts.

I wonder if he has seen and heard the conservative backlash about the amnesty plan

I believe this is exactly what is happening. I expect Dubya to take a "hard turn to the right" with judges, tax-cuts and maybe even...dare I wish for it... spending "cuts", just to mollify his conservative campaign contributors.

He is not sidestepping Congress. He is side stepping a small Democrat minority of senators!

Think of what this could (hopefully & possibly) mean in the future for Hil'ry & Rapin' Bill.

I think he did it to help Dean's candidacy. Perfect timing to rile the Dims in Iowa.

Well I'll be durned!! ABOUT TIME! Thank you President Bush, a more conservative judiciary is an absoluite necessity and this first step means a lot to me.

[votelife]

anything to help Dean win the nomination is fine with me!

[pgkdan]

Now Bush hopes all the folks pissed off about immigration will shut up...

Maybe so, but this means a lot top me and goes a long way to smoothing my ruffled feathers.
