Bush should appoint Robert Bork while he's at it.

[John Jorsett]

I read a posting a while back that recess appointees don't get paid. Anyone know if this is true?

Would it be ironic enough to appoint (former) Judge Moore to the AG spot?

"The president is on shaky ground with the hard right and is using this questionably legal and politically shabby technique to bolster himself," Schumer said.

Wrong. Putzhead. The Constitution (remember, that document you so cavalierly swore to support and defend) specificially authorizes the President to make recess appointments.

It does NOT specifically authorize 40 neobolshevik senators to block an up or down vote on candidates they don't like.

Just what we need --another Federal Judge with NO respect
for the Rule of Law. Bill Pryor subverted everything to
the construct of the modern Court-and his ambition for
power over government and people for life.

[backtobasics]

Democrats argued Pryor is too partisan and politically outspoken to be an objective jurist.

ROFLOL!

[paul in cape]

Bush should make this an election issue.

"Do you want my main stream conservative values-type judges appointed, or would you prefer Senator Kerry appointing far left Massacheusetts judges, or Californis ultra liberal judges?"

It's a winning argument.
