While the Prez has not been vociferous about the obstructionism (Iraq, Terror and Tax Breaks to the fore...) he has made some public statements about it being wrong and anti-Constitutional. This is usually how he softens them up (make a few comments, then lay off for a while) so when the Dims think he's forgotten (what nitwits) he body-slams them. Let's pray for it...

Wishful thinking. This will be taken to court for sure by the Democrats. What better time to take it to SCOTUS than now? Is it smart strategy to prolong it closer to election? I think not because it will give the Democrats an issue which they lack now. The biggest problem the Democrats have now is a lack of issues. They have to sound like nitpickers unless more issues are given to them.

It's an interesting strategy, but couldn't the Dems say that (untruthfully, of course), that Bush "was trying once again, to stack the SCOTUS to decide future presidential elections?" Wouldn't that backfire on Bush? How would the White House counter that?

can you slip ajudge in the supreme court at a recess when congress goes home or would they have to wait for congress to reconvene?????????

I like the stategery. Or nominate Owen or Estrada for the Supreme. People won't like seeing Dems shut down the Senate in a time of war.

Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.
