Or, Bush could stick to his word, which was to tell the Senate leadership to give the nominee an up or down vote.

I will be very disappointed if there is a recess appointment. The bigger issue here, between Bolton and the confirmation process, is Senate refusal to vote on a nominee based on the assertions of a minority of Senators.

He can sure ask them.

But he can't tell them.

WHile I liked your very complete page about all the minutae of Senate maneuvering against Bolton, I completely disagree with you about a recess appointment of Bolton and recess appointments in general.

We are, as Gingrich so well said, "locked in a battle for the soul of the Republic". Put Bolton in with a recess appointment, and do the same for all judges where the Democrats object to that judge.

The Democratic party was taken over by socialists decades ago. This is the best, and likely LAST CHANCE, to overturn decades of creeping Communism largely, but not totally the result of the Democratic Party.

Please note that I am well aware of RINO's and such socialist trash within the Pubbies. But a recess "de-pointment" of such socialism impaired RINOs isn't possible. Recess appointments of Bolton is possible.

What have you got against winning?
