This is all very simple for president Bush to resolve: announce that unless the judicial confirmations begin immediately, he'll follow the example set by his Democratic predecessor, and fire every Democratic US Attorney in the country by June 30, to appoint new ones beginning on, say the 4th of July.
A general housecleaning of any other leftover Democrat appointments can then follow at liesure. That Bush has not yet done so offers the observation that he's really not all that concerned with the judicial appointments being stalled.
