Didn't Clintoon make a recess appointment of a federal judge after he was voted down by the Senate?
To: Cable225
1. The President can make recess appointments for ALL positions to which he nominates. Even to the Federal Bench. There have been recess appointments to the Fed bench in the past.
2. Just because the Senate can establish its own rules doesn't mean you can't ask the Supremes to review it and see if Senate rules don't prevent presidential prerogatives and Senate responsibilities.
3. Number 2 would take a lot of time, too. These are options, not requirements. Besides, the sooner you get started the better in terms of getting it done.
4. Nope, what I said is that this appears to be the route he's taking. It's the fastest permanent route but not the most sure. Recess appointments would be temporarily faster.
5. I didn't say he isn't. This is a list of options. However, Bush says he won't relent on appointing strict constructionists. He'd get a liberal, Massachusetts Kennedy relative through the committee in a heartbeat, but he won't do it.

Can't you just hear the thumping bass and the squeally noises in your minds eye?
To: BibChr
The AP can shove it up their (fill in the blank). This type of editorializing in press releases happens everyday and they can't even tell the truth when they do it. Its highly unprofessional.
To: KC_Conspirator
You're absolutely right. I wouldn't mind as much if it were more evenhanded, though. They need to do it NEVER, or do it (1) ALL THE TIME (2) TO EVERYONE (3) EQUALLY.

A country without federal judges. Doesn't seem like a crisis to me.

To: livius
I heard that too. I'd be interested in some facts...darn, facts always get in the way of my rhetoric.
To: houston1
And what did Republicans do to Clinton? Doesn't seem like they did enough, in my humble opinion. He got his judges and he stayed our president (unfortunately). They shoulda kicked him and his enabler wife outta the W(hore) House. Now we'll never be rid of them. ACCGGHHHH!!!!
To: Lazamataz
BRILLIANT move on Bushes part. Term the obstructionism a 'crisis'It's a crisis that could threaten the welfare ......of the children.

If it saves one life it will be worth it.
To: BibChr
Such a glaring example of the increasing tendency of "reporting" morphing into opining/editorializing.
To: Lazamataz
Any comparison to the last-minute Clinton nominations is ridiculous, and every reasonable person across the political spectrum understands this. Late administration appointees rarely get confirmed.
The only meaningful comparison to the treatment of the Bush nominees is to the first two years of previous administrations, when new presidents typically get most, if not all, of their nominees through. The Daschle-Leahy stall is despicable, deceitful, arrogant, unprecedented, unseemly, and low class, all hallmarks of their lousy tenure in public service.

SunStar, may I introduce Lazamataz, Laz, this is SunStar.:-)

I noted that Assh--e Press uses scare quotes for the word "Crisis," which indicates that it is only a so-called "crisis," otherwise, no scare quotes. It would be interesting to see how many times they did this to BJ.
