I feel that Bush should withdraw all nominations to the bench until the mid term elections are over.

I have to admit, I was kind of surprised Mr. Bush didn't do precisely that in the first place. Long years of watching politics tell me that one of the least safe times for a president to ponder judicial nominations is when election season begins.

I do know this, you cannot continue to nominated good, honorable men and women and have them put through this buzz saw knowing full well that at the very least they will never get out of the committee and at the worse have their reputations ruined and careers ended.. The democrats have announced loud and proud their intentions so, if it was me, I would not give them the satisfaction. The "bully pulpit" will not work when it comes to judicial nominations, most people could care less and public pressure is just not there.
