Why no recess appointments for these exceptional people?

[Voltage]

Perhaps someone who understands the rules can explain. Why shouldn't GWB just do recess appointments, perhaps by the hundreds at the next opportunity?

[LarryM]

If Bush had any guts, he would give a recess appointment to every judge filibustered by the rats.

[lilylangtree]

"Ted Kennedy's gang of 45 discriminated against Estrada because he is Hispanic, like they discriminate against another nominee, William Pryor, for his devout Catholicism"

Isn't old Teddy boy Catholic? Perhaps a liberal Catholic?

I can stand in a garage and call myself a car, but that doesn't make me one. Supporting abortion is hardly a Catholic position.

Nor is drowing a young women but alas Kennedy did that as well. He's Catholic only when there passing the wine chalis around!

[Huck]

I don't buy the racism line for an instant.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

You don't believe that Rats intentionally thwart Republican efforts to advance minorities so that Rats can keep them "down on the plantation", dependent upon government and voting for those whose policy it is to give government handouts - Rats? Maybe I’m just cynical.

"If Bush had any guts, he would give a recess appointment to every judge filibustered by the rats."

. . .sometimes it seems Bush is determined to play politics the 'right' way and not do the things that the Dems do; perhaps thinking, he can somehow set a higher standard.

But it is hopeless to go there; the Dems are the most determined, ends-justifies-any-means, scummy people who care not a whit about even attempting that resembles 'moral politics'.

Do wish Bush had it in him to sock-it-to-them. They need it; and so do we.

[kaktuskid]

Because recess appointments last until the end of a congressional session and are unpaid!

[moneyrunner]

Calling a spade a spade.

[hosepipe]

Democrats believe that big government works and Republicans do not, and Republicans prove it everytime they get elected'- PJ O'Rourke

[Huck]

I see them opposing conservatives of all backgrounds. I don't think that libs are opposed to Hispanics on the bench. It's conservatives they don't like.

Democratic Racism

Wrong again. It's DEMOCRAT racism, a case of redundancy if ever there was one.

[WestPacSailor]

He's Catholic only when there passing the wine chalis around!

When it comes to the wine chalice he's the freakin' Pope!

[cyborg]

Well there was that time when Alan Keyes was shut out of a republican debate and I don't recall the GOP ever doing anything... but I'm not clear on that. That was awhile ago.

kak, I'm pinging others with this. Too many people don't know that a President can't just override Congress. Most times, we are glad of that.
Just think where we'd be after hillary gets elected if Congress couldn't put the brakes on. :-)
