If I had the time, I would file a Writ of Mandamus to challenge the Constitutionality of Judicial Appointments that are not voted on by the full Senate.

If I were the President, I would most certainly file such a case.

The Senate may choose to assign a committee to vet the nominee and perhaps even provide a recommendation, but it is the right, I would argue, of each and every Senator to vote on a Presidential nominee a President nominates.

There's got to be a reason Bush isn't filing such a suit.

Good point noting that President Bush could file the action. Given the principle involved, President Bush doesn't need to wait for more nominees to be declined a full senate vote - such a vote is either required or its not.

IMHO he should get going and establish the principle before he needs to make a SCOTUS appointment.
