[You Dirty Rats]

This isn't the 1950's and President Bush wouldn't be able to get away with a access appointment and you know it

Ease up, Tex. I specifically replied to JimRob that any recess appointment this year would expire in January 2007. Nothing can stop the President from making such an appointment to SCOTUS, but why do it when the 'Rats would block a vote and the Republican Moderates would back them up?

Recess appointment of Bolton worked. For SCOTUS, bad idea for the reasons I mentioned.

OK?

Oh ye of little faith and _{little fight}. The GOP would win this. If not now, when? How far do the RATs push before we decide to simply openly object their unconstitutional actions?

Stealth Conservatism is a losing strategy. Bluff and fold - that's what happened here. Great poker. NOT.
