So, Bush cut a deal with the Democrats a year or so ago. Under its terms, the Democrats get to pick every other judge, and they get to disapprove the ones that Bush picks. In other words, the Democrats get to control 100% of the NJ appointments. This deal allows Bush to ignore what's going on in NJ, but still to get judges confirmed in NJ

Cool. Smart politics.
Bush has correctly written off New Jersey as the hopeless liberal sewer that it is in order to get Republicans appointed. And even if these particular Republicans are cowardly pro-abortion scumbags, they will at least be better than Democrat pro-abortion scumbags. Every vacancy that is filled with a Republican lifetime appointment is one less that can be filled by a Democrat. The best part is that these New Jersey judges won't go any farther up the food chain anyway if they are pro-abortion, so who cares? Smart.

No, that's very dumb since he didn't get the popular vote.

1,284,173, 1.2 million of us VOTED for BUSH, if he keeps annoying pro lifers those numbers will drop. He shouldn't take voters for granted, it's decisions like this which make people vote 3rd party.

they will at least be better than Democrat pro-abortion scumbags>>

I agree with that. But what else doesn't make sense it that Bush is pusing tort reform and appointed a congressman who voted twice "against" tort reform, Martini, go figure.
