January 16, 2004

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

[Sunshine Sister]

That's disgusting. I don't watch news on TV so I missed that. Some things just never change do they?

[Poohbah]

Maybe Pickering can afford to work without pay.

[The Mayor]

Excellent, now keep on going.... don't stop now!!

[LayoutGuru2]

Sweet!!! Bring 'em on!!! Let's see a Bork appointment, yeah!!!

[pgkdan]

More conservative until his appointment is up in a year at least. Then won't it be back to square one?

Possibly. I don't know when the last recessed appointed Judge didn't win subsequent Senate approval...however this Senate has thrown out the rule book.

Hopefully a year from now the re-elected President Bush will have a stronger GOP majority in the Senate.

Batter up!

[metoooo]

yes, why stop at one...why npt appoint them all...lol

[steveegg]

May the perpetually saddened one be out of a job this time next year.

[pgkdan]

Yes it usually does to those who benefit from the pandering.

Are you sayinmg that this appointment is pandering? Get a grip.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Best news i've heard in a long time!I bet Kennedy will have to drink an extra pint of whiskey just to get to sleep! HA!

[Jim Robinson]

It's all Bush's fault. It's all about oil. Bush knew. I like Ike!!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

The libs will positively scream over this. I hope they're so mad that they can't even see straight.

[tutstar]

Now if we could just get some decent judges in FL!
Great News!
Thanks!

[zbigreddogz]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

Well, it should be the 12th Commandment, Reagan already gave us the 11th, but it's a great Commandment anyhow.

[Amerigomag]

CHA CHING............! More donations for GWB and the RNC!

Exactly. This has Rove's finger prints all over it.

I wasn't surprised that Bush was treated so disgracefully at the King memorial service. If Rove keeps it up Bush will soon be treated to equally disgraceful behavior at conservative events.

Too bad. I think Bush is basically a good man but when Rove is finished he'll be viewed by historians as just another political hack.

[paragtime]

not usually this politically charged but with W finally ignoring his little polite political moves and doing something it is good. probably was motivated by losing the $ support of real conservatives but whatever it takes


God Bless America!

[MeekOneGOP]

Yeah !!!

[StarCMC]

FINALLY!!(Thanks for the ping Meekie!!)

[MeekOneGOP]

haha ! It's a good day to be GOP !

ALL the good news is going the GOP's way today !!:

Supreme Court won't block TEXAS GOP's redistricting plan

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court refused Friday to block a hard-fought Republican redistricting plan in Texas that could cost Democrats as many as six seats in Congress.

The justices will announce later this year whether they will consider an appeal from congressional Democrats and others who claim that the map dilutes minority voting strength. In the meantime, they rejected an emergency appeal that sought to stop the state from using the new boundaries in this year's elections.

[MeekOneGOP]

My pleasure.

Bush seems to be setting things up nicely for the upcoming election fight.

The 'RATS obstructing this good man for TWO YEARS set the tone ...
