Them too, for letting it stand. I agree.
But it won't get knocked down if every nominee is vetted by the DEMs in advance, and found to be acceptable. And the President has the keys to that tool box. He chose the easy path, what he thought was politically expedient.
Candidates are NOT vetted by the RATS. That is a total falsehood. Advice and consent by the Senator is not just hearings but can also be private meetings and consultations with party leaders. There is nothing wrong with that.
But I know that most of the Antis just want to have Bush provoke a huge knockdown dragout fight with the RATS. You would think that after five years they would understand that is not his style. I guess some never learn.
