"Question: Now that Congress has left town, can Bush start appointing judges and other officials Harry Reid and his roving band of idiots have blocked?"

well, funny you should ask. my wife's dad and step mom live in NV. she (step mom) is blindly allegiant to liberal democrats, he goes along to get along.
She went to high school with reid which is why THEY love him and want Bush to burn at the stake. it is no more complicated than that. deep thinking CNN watchers.
Its fun watching Reid grow smaller with each passing day.
I wish W would recess fill every single vacancy.
If the telecoms didn’t break the law, they have nothing to fear from lawsuits.
I think it waws photoshopped, because the maggots have been removed...
Not if they do what the did over Thanksgiving! That is, they had Porno Sinator Jim Webb come into the Sinate and gavel it into session so that, legally, the Sinate is not in recess and GW cannot make a Recess Appointment!
That had never been done before!
How many times will he stab our troops in the back and get away with it?
Do you need a certain amount of persons on hand ?
Apparently only one Sinator + the Sargent ‘n Arms to open the door is enough!
Nope! Not to open the Sinate! Jim Webb,with no other Sinator in the Chamber, simply banged the gave to officially open the Sinate, then left. No voting was done as that would require a quorum!
Couldn't the Pubbies then sneak back in and pass some legislation unopposed?
After they failed on Monday failed to block Republican efforts to retroactively bar lawsuits against telephone companies that helped the government monitor suspected jihadist communications after September 11, Mr. Reid pulled from the floor legislation to modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the primary law governing the monitoring of electronic communications. Unless Congress acts, on Feb. 1 U.S. intelligence agencies will lose the ability to monitor at least some overseas terrorist telecommunications without first obtaining court approval.
The Democrats’ fatal flaw

[snip] Joe Klein, a politically astute columnist notably hard on George Bush, writes this in the Dec. 3 issue of Time magazine: “If the Democrats want to win in 2008, they can’t be mealymouthed on issues of national security.” Klein then proceeds to cite two matters, Iraq war funding and surveillance of terrorist communications, about which Democrats have been “foolishly partisan.” Klein concludes by warning that if Democrats can’t credibly promise to “protect the nation against enemies, foreign and domestic ... they simply will not win the presidency.” [end]
“omg! she looks like a freakin’ alien in that picture...”
hey there, dontcha know, she IS an alien.
Bush is supposed to be the Commander-in-Chief, currently running a war on terror. Surveillance of possible jihadists is a crucial facet of that war. Therefore, Bush should be able to conduct surveillance related to the war effort without needing any okay from Congress. I wish Bush would tell Reid to go play in the street, but I’m not holding my breath.
So Jim Webb turns up to open the Senate for Business...
There is a quorum of Republicans waiting for him to start the proceedings an no Democrats in sight....
What does he do then?
