President Bush plans to nominate White House lawyer Brett M. Kavanaugh, an author of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr's report on President Bill Clinton, for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Republican sources said yesterday.

The disclosure came as Bush issued a curt rejection to Democratic senators who had offered to alleviate a fight over a future Supreme Court vacancy by working with him to find a nominee both sides could accept.

Very interesting! GWB sure has a lot of his mother in him!

[Arkinsaw]

This is the proper course. Nominate someone, if the Democrats freak nominate someone more conservative, if the Democrats freak nominate someone more conservative, rinse and repeat as necessary. Pretty soon the Democrats will be up against the wall appearing to obstruct everything. Even they will be smart enough to understand the situation. If they know that the next one will be more conservative every time it will behoove them to shut up and approve nominees.

What bias? ;-)

If that's not a one finger salute, I don't know what is.

This is one area Bush has done fairly well in IMO. Judges.

The Dems keep expecting Bush to back down. They lose another fight and then they keep expecting Bush to back down. They lose yet again and they keep expecting Bush to back down.

Hey, didn't we just pass an ADDITIONAL tax cut after the $350 Billion one, to give more money back to low-income families? Is that the 3rd or 4th tax cut in a row?! Afghanistan. Iraq. Partial Birth Abortion Ban. Arming pilots. Killing the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty. Killing the U.S.-CCCP ABM Treaty. Getting the U.S. out of the International Criminal Court.

Hey, I know what! Why don't the Dems push Bush up against the wall on some other issues, expecting *him* to back down on those, too.

Actually, the dems may appear so obstructionist that come election day - they will go bye bye !!! Public is not happy about this - even if the media is not picking up on it.

[Lady In Blue]

Agree! Can you imagine the look of utter disbelieve on the faces of the Dems when they learn about this? hehehe!

My state senator (Valde Garcia - (R) and good guy) among others, are having fits about the obstruction of Estrada(and the other judges).

[Lady In Blue]

That's about it for me tonight. It's past my bedtime.Goodnight everybody.

"WASHINGTON -- No fellow Democrat volunteered to give Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton protective cover when she was the only senator voting against the nomination of Michael Chertoff as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. Chertoff was chief counsel of the Senate's 1995 investigation of the investment by the Clintons in the Whitewater project..."

Brett M. Kavanaugh - An excellent choice.
