From Reuters:

Bush to Bypass Senate, Give Jobs to Reich, Scalia

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will use his authority to install two contentious nominees during the Senate's holiday recess, including Otto Reich as assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs, a senior administration official said on Friday.

The other recess appointment will be Eugene Scalia, a conservative labor attorney and son of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to the post of solicitor general at the Labor Department, the official said.

"Both positions have been vacant for close to a year and the Senate, by failing to act on either nomination, left the president with no other option but to exercise his constitutional right to appoint them both," the official told Reuters.

Both had a very good chance to be approved. Daschle would not let them have an up or down vote on the floor. Bush had no choice. It would have been a different matter if he appointed them after the Senate voted them down.

Circumventing Senate opposition,...

Hmmmmm ...did AP EVER utilized this phrase in the Clinton recess appointments?

[MJY1288]

"Circumventing Senate opposition"

How can it be labeled "Circumventing" when both of these nominee's would have been approved, but the RATS would not schedule the hearings.

Kudos to President Bush
