Recess appointments at this stage of the Bush presidency last until December 31, 2008, or just 3 weeks b4 the end of the Bush presidency.
Now, let’s move on with more recess appointments tomorrow, and the next day and the next, and then the one after that. For those who are willing to serve for two years w/o Senate confirmation and can go back to the private sector, who cares if the media and the RATS go loco.
Let’s appoint lots of circuit court judges tomorrow who have been lanquishing in committee or who face uphill confirmation odds.
While we are at it, let’s appoint Ann Coulter to one of the circuits, preferably a vacancy on the DC circuit.
I can’t tell you how it would make my day for a ton of recess appointments to be made! Let the President just stand up and say that he’s doing it because Congress saw fit to take a recess while there was urgent business to attend to and they can plan on more such appointments every time Congress leaves town!
Pass the popcorn. ;-)
I'd like to see John Bolton appointed to head the State Department, with instructions to completely dismantle it down to it's foundation.
I think all the people that didn’t get an up or down vote should be recess appointed now to all open judgeships. Payback for the vote. I wouldn’t give this Congress another shred of paper. Let’s have total stalemate the next 2 years because the only legislation passed would be crap anyway.
I was somewhat wondering why President Bush didn’t simply force an “Emergency Session” of the congress earlier, as he is able to, in order to get the funding for the troops.
Perhaps the desire, or the capability, to do recess appointments instead is the reason.
I like the way you think!
