SOTU: Congress Confirmed At Least 40 Of Bush’s Judges In 2007

Bush said: “I have submitted judicial nominees who will rule by the letter of the law, not the whim of the gavel. Many of these nominees are being unfairly delayed. They are worthy of confirmation, and the Senate should give each of them a prompt up-or-down vote.”

FACT — DEMOCRATIC-LED CONGRESS HAS CONFIRMED MORE OF BUSH’S JUDGES THAN DURING GOP CONGRESS: Despite the Republicans’ loss of control of the Senate, 40 of Bush’s judges won confirmation this year, more than in the previous three years when Republicans held the majority. [LA Times, 1/2/08]

ANOTHER reason to vote for any primary challenger of the Democratic encumbents. We sincerely need a new government, top to bottom.

Agreed about the primaries. Get involved with candidates that will stand up for the values you care about. It’s a pretty dirty congress. Vote early and often for the candidates of your choice. Get involved. Theoretically, it’s OUR country. Let’s see if it is.
