I was going to put up a snarky picture of related to Voinovich crying on the Floor. Again. But, more important stuff.
…after meeting with Bush, Frist came out to the cameras stationed at the White House and said he would schedule a third vote to end debate and vote for confirmation.
"The president made it very clear that he expects an up or down vote," he said, adding that Democratic resistance has nothing to do with Bolton, but everything to do with resentment toward the president.
If that fails, then George "still the President" Bush should should just appoint Bolton during the mid-term recess. Screw it. No matter what Dingy Harry has said:
"The president will have to make a decision whether he wants to send this flawed candidate to the United Nations under an also questionable constitutional measure, which is being tested in the courts as we speak,"
Sorry, Harry, but you fail Civics 101. It is not a "questionable constitutional measure." In fact, Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution states:
The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.
Pretty clear to me. But, of course, the Constitution only applies when it suits the Dems.
I would prefer, if the Dem whiney asses get their way on Bolton, for Bush to simply refuse to appoint anyone else. Just effectively withdraw the US from UN participation. It’s a pile of rotting flesh and bones over at Turtle Bay anyway, why waste any time there?
Me too. Few politicians have the cajones to do that though
