[CyberAnt]"recess appointments"...

I sure hope so - and I wish the President was mad enough over it to appoint all the rest of his candidates too. That would be the biggest hoot!!

Now, there's an idea........and let Sandra Day O'Connor leave the Supreme Court the same day, and let Bush promptly make a recess appointment of Judge Bork to SCOTUS and several dozen conservative judges.......and the payback for Bill Lann Lee and so many other loathesome Klintoon recess appointments will be complete!

What an idea! Boiling the 'Rats in their own soup!

The only problem with my idea is that the appointments are only good for 2 years (according to Rush Limbaugh). However, it would give the repubs a chance to get back the Senate - which would allow them to make the confirmations permanent. I still think it's a great idea.

"Boiling the 'Rats in their own soup!"...why does that sound so...delicious? Actually, GW played it well, knowing this could not go anywhere. Lott looks good; the dems (who could not accept this no matter what otherwise it would have blown the only string that relies them to their women voters: abortion) look mentally retarded; the "civil rights" group look (once more) like the imbecilic frauds they are; various dem newspapers, feminists and black activists came to our side; GW looks like he really tried; Pickering looks great also and rallied thousands behind him. We cornered the dems badly. It's all win-win to me. The only thing that needs to be done is to reward Judge Pickering for having accepted the awful trashing he had to know he would receive.

Perhaps the same thing could happen again with the next Bush choice...
