Dems Aren't Interested in Appointing Judges
From Fox News:All White House nominees will be blocked. That's right: every single one.
That's the word from Sen. Charles Schumer's office, which released a statement on Friday saying that Senate Democrats plan "to hold nominations until the White House commits to stop abusing the advise and consent process."
Schumer's release followed a statement by Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., on the Senate floor Friday, in which he vowed to make life difficult for the president's nominees as long as Bush keeps using his recess appointment power to install the ones Democrats oppose.
Matt's Chat
Chuck the Schmuck is at it again! How unhinged is this reasoning? The President has every right to use recess appointments (a LEGAL procedure, by the way) when opposition won't allow a straight up or down vote in which the nomination would be confirmed.Gosh, the Party of Love (tm) is downright mean and vicious. Furthering my theory that all Democratic rhetoric is merely projection of their own failings...
Mark's Remarks
Wow...holding up the processes of democracy, hundreds if not thousands of court cases, just for politics.....Chuck the Schmuck, you just showed the American people you do not care about them, you only care about your own politics. Of course, the Partisan Media(tm) will not publicize this, because they are just like you and your lib friends, engaging in the Goebbels strategy of the Big Lie...telling it loud and long enough, no matter what the facts say....
You and your ilk, Mr. Schumer, are disgraces to the trust of the American people. I hope they find out about this and hold you and your fellow obstructionists accountable for the wheels of justice grinding to a halt....
