The president can do it now because the Senate has failed to go forward with the process. Reid should hold a press conference to state that the President was offered a deal to clear up the nomination process in which he would simply appoint 84 nominees under the recess appointment power and thus save the Senate, the nominees and the Senate untold hours of effort. Reid made this offer since the president has a tendency to nominate some persons who are (at the very least) controversial as opposed to seeking nominees that would be more acceptable to the senate. We will therefore go through the acer squ-401 battery,acer travelmate 2300 battery process of holding hearings on and either accepting or rejecting each one of these nominees. We are sorry that the President has chosen this course, but the Senate will not be forced into accepting the appointment of Mr. Bradbury.

Each and every time though the Dems give up for fear the Bush will blame them for something or worse say that weak on terror . Nancy and Harry, if you’re on Bush’s side just say so and we’ll stop being so frustrated by your actions. If not, then realize the pulse of the nation and stand up for good government and tell Bush to shove it.

Recess appointments are there simply for uses where business would be held up in the event an important vacancy needed to be while Congress was not in session. But as with eveything in Bush World, he has taken this to the extreme and used it without any pushback from Congress. Hell in most cases when the temporary appointment period of these recess appointees has run out Bush has simply re-recess appointed them.

The Neo-Cons have studied hard and found every gray area that they could use to build their empire and ruin this country. Another case in point are the signing statements that Bush loves to scribble in crayon. The Founding Fathers never realized that an out and out criminal would hold the office of president. It’s time to hold a Constitutional Convention to plug all these holes that the Neo-Cons found or else this country will permanently sink to 3rd world status.

Harry, quit working with these punks and do the job you were elected to do. Read over the oath of office you swore to and protect this country for once.

It’s very progressive to hire someone with a chemical imbalance and someone with severe memory loss.

Now this Bradbury fellow, he sounds like a landmark hire for those Americans born without compassion.

He has no clue how to work “within” government. Typical frat-boy “give me what I want or else” syndrome at work…

I like the concept, however I envision an electronic collar that gauges whether any actions taken by the wearer violates the constitution or any laws then automatically notifies Congress and sends emails to anyone who signs up to a didtribution list. Where do I apply for a no-bid earmarked contract to develope this idea into a working product?

Reid is a useless Quisling to Bush (as is Pelosi) but he could at least, on this occasion, pretend to be independent and somewhat the master of his domain.

Just tell GW666 to go “Cheney himself”.

Buck Fush

Awesome! Taze him, BRO!

That and retroactive immunity for the Telcos that broke the law for him.

Bush has shit on the Constitution and the country, has operated in total secrecy, and has held his breath until he gets his way. And he does. So why should he do anything different?

The chimp needs to be fitted with a shock collar and everytime he acts like a petulant brat, taser the bastard.
