Not a singler piece of Democrat-sponsored legislation should see the light of day until each and every one of President Bush's judicial nominees has received an up-or-down vote in the senate.

That's a good idea.

The Dems have been screaming about how Bush is resubmitting nominees who were rejected by the Senate last year.

Not a one of them was rejected by the Senate. They'd simply never been voted on.

Fine.

Bush should inform the Senate that at the beginning of every recess, each and every nominee who had been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee more than 90 days prior, and who had not received an up or down vote by the full Senate, will be recess appointed.

And then renominated at the beginning of the next session.

If the Senate rejects a nominee, the President should honor that, and not use his recess appointment power to try to circumvent it. But if the Senate had not rejected a nominee, but simply had not yet voted on him, the President would be fully justified in using his recess appointment power to temporarily fill the position.

In disclosing her decision, Feinstein cited the shooting deaths Thursday of two Los Angeles city workers by a co-worker apparently armed with an AK-47 rifle as an example of why the law is needed.

So if he had sniped at them using a bolt action rifle from another building that would have been okay?
