Good.
No mention of dim's heavy-handed partisan actions that made this necessary.
appoint the judges, too.....all of them.....if dasshole is to be saddened, he should be really saddened
Dear Sen. Ron Wyden:
Tomorrow morning, for breakfast, order a large bowl of warm, stewed prunes.
Your gas problems will be over soon.
P/S ... take the rest of the day off, and preferably near a bathroom.
BOOM!
They (dems) made an agreement to quit stalling as a trade off on President Bush not making recess appointments.
Apparently, they have not quit stalling.
Good for him!
"...Mr. Wyden said he hoped "that this undemocratic process for naming a new chair won't result in consumers being hammered with high gas prices again and again..."
The high gas prices have nothing to do with taxes imposed on the general population by liberal treee huggers like Wyden and Lurch to get me to drive less or buy a tiny deathtrap. Screw you Wyden, you Dimmy pimp!! Your sniveling makes me want to vomit.
About damn time!
Take the CLINTON 10 cents a gallon tax increase off the price of fuel....(A tax on the poorest that shouldn't have happened but when did Bubba ever tell the truth).
Passed while the Republicans controlled the house and senate?
Between this and his support of an NRST, I feel a lot better about voting for him.
I'm still not letting him off the hook for the AWB though...
I don't think so!!
Problem with recess appointments especially of judges is that it requires someone to give up a (presumably) good-paying job for one that, while prestigious, lacks a future, since the Senate cannot possibly approve someone who has been a recess-appointee.
Not after the President slaps them in the face like that!
If, God forbid, Bush doesn't win the election, I'd bet you'll be seing a bunch of that...
The following is an excerpt beginning with 1901 showing the recess appointed and number confirmed of Federal Judges... Note that President Bush's number is incorrect as it doesn't include the two appointments he made.
Also note that beginning with President Nixon the Presidents begin to back away from recess appointments of Judges....

If your premise is that the Democrats have goodwill and a sense of fair play, you might be confused by these appointments.
If your premise is that the 'Rats are Socialists willing to destroy America to regain power, you are THRILLED by these appointments!
Heh-heh, yippee-kiy-ay...
Good news bump.
Looks like the RAT congress has used up all of their share of Republican compassionate conservatism. Keep up the good work Pres Bush--
