Also, the President doesn't necessarily have to make the announcement himself, although I would be surprised if he didn't. FDR sent the nomination of Senator Hugo L. (for liberal) Black (the opposite of his white KKK robe) directly to the Senate, where it was read aloud. Wouldn't you just LOVE the sight of Vice President Cheney reading aloud the name of an absolutely died-in-the-woll conservative-originalist who would send the Left into absolute hysteria while he was looking right at Pat Leahy?

I like the way you think....but alas GWB doesn't have your imagination, your sense of decorum, history, etc.
This would also send the MSM into spasms...I really do like it.
I wonder, though, if FDR did that b/c Hugo was a Senator? Maybe he wanted to sit onthe floor to hear his name read or something?
At any rate..I like the idea...but GWB has no imagination.
