Can you say recess appointment?
What the hell is Bush waiting for?

Good question.... I don't have any knowledge of what their thinking or intent is. Maybe neither Estrada or Owen want a recess appt and have to give up permanent jobs at this time without pay. Who knows......

Come on, you guys ... recess appointments are NOT a panacea. In fact, I believe that in the case of judgeships a recess appointment would be, at worst, a Demodog victory, and at best, neutral. This fight must be carried on politically, and electorally and judicially - there are many roads to success here. The important thing for each and every one of us to take note of here is that neither the White House or the Senate leadership has given up the fight on this, and there is no indication that they are going to cave.

By the way, I DO believe a truly temporary recess appointment of Bork would be a great move. It would be fantastic to have the Demodogs attempt to redefend their obstruction of him... There was no such counter to the mediots then as we have now. They would be drawn and quartered if they attempted that today. His admonitions and predictions over the past ten years have by now been so clearly borne out as to be indisputable by more than 60% of the electorate.

I'd double dog dare them...
