There's still 2 months before the new Senate takes office.

That's two months to push Bolton to the floor, and see if the democrats filibuster to push him to the next senate (they probably will, but given he hasn't done so bad, maybe they don't need to play politics with him now that they won).

Anyway, he could be put in a non-confirmable slot and left as "acting" ambassador until we find another guy, maybe Ric Santorum, to do the job.

Technically, he is a lame duck. But he's not "gone" until after John Bolton is, evidently.

If so, this Administration is simply OVER.

Reagan had to deal with both branches in RAT hands, yet not only pushed through his own appointments...but prevailed over all. His biggest failure was Bork...and sure enough...that was due to betrayal by another RINO screw-up...(whose support for probably cost Rick Santorum his own seat!)...ARLEN "The Defector" SPECTER.

No more "Scottish Law" from the ijits.

Somehow, despite these constant RINO betrayals...I wonder if the White House really GETS IT.
