Excellent.

Beat me by a second. I've asked the moderator to pull it.

Great news.

I hope Bush has the balls that the Senate has lost.

[dwilli]

Maybe he does but they need to get bigger to make an impression.

Dubya needs to keep this trend going with some recess judicial appointments.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now will he have the cojones to do a recess appointment of a few of the federal judges?

Under Janet Reno, Christians and Gun Advocates were targeted for investigation. Even though there was not a record of law breaking in these groups. The Dems said nothing about this.

Today some of the Mosques and "muslim charity organizations" are known supporters of terror against our country. The names of the hijackers on 9/11 were not Smith, Jones, William, David etc. Everyone of them had Muslim names.

What the hell is the problem with targeting them???

My thought exactly.

Now if he could just do the same on the judicial appointments....

[EllaMinnow]

I hope this is just the start of a deluge of recess appointments.
When does the recess end? The day after Labor Day?

I didn't get a chance to see your reply to me because the thread was pulled (duplicate). The article claims that W has used this tactic previously for some of his "controversial" appointments. I don't recall any recess appointments. He should go ahead and recess appoint all of the 6 in question, along with Judge Bork. He should specifically state in Judge Bork's recess appointment that the appointment will remain in force until all the backlogged judicial appointments are given a vote in the full senate.

WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK!

As they say in hockey, "If you can't beat 'em in the alley, you can't beat 'em on the rink!"

Go W go!

WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK! WE WANT BORK!

I'll settle for Kenneth Starr.

[veronica]

Awesome. :))

[KarlInOhio]

Can he recess appoint Bill Clinton as a low level federal judge, just so he can be impeached again? I would love to be able to say "twice impeached Bill Clinton".

[veronica]

One for the good guys...

[B Knotts]

Cool! Pipes is controversial only because he is not afraid to speak the truth.

[Cyber Liberty]

I like the way you think.
