Bush Pushes Senate to Confirm Federal Judges
Source: AP

President Bush reminded Americans Monday that his eight years of appointing conservative judges will affect the nation for decades, hoping to secure his legacy but also help fire up Republicans in must-win Ohio a month before the presidential election.

Bush said he has appointed more than one-third of all sitting federal judges, and that ''few issues are more hotly debated or have a more lasting impact on our country.''

He called on the Senate, in the final days of his presidency, to vote on filling 34 judicial vacancies in the federal circuit and district courts. Realistically speaking, there is no chance of that happening if Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama wins the White House, since his colleagues in the Senate would simply wait for him to be inaugurated and come up with his own list of nominees. ...

1. F*ck Bush. He's a criminal and a traitor.
Worst pResident in the history of this country.

He knows no shame, he has no ethics, morals, or values.

He can just shut the f*ck up and wait for the indictments to arrive.

20. For that to happen
Harry Reid would have to be interested in Dubya's picks. I think Harry would rather look at the picks at the miner's museum in Searchlight than Dimbulb's. :rofl:

22. Heaven forbid that the Senate does its job.
Yes, they should be given the up/down vote.

Everyone votes "no"; the next Pres submits a new list for confirmation.

27. NOT A F*ing CHANCE!
Any democrat who votes to confirm a Bush appointee...

as far as I'm concerned, is not just "going down" they are
going to have to leave Earth and resettle on that
hellhole second planet in the Repuklien system. Fifth class
accommodations (a cattle crate) will be provided at no cost to them.

Look me in the eye. No, in the good eye. Now seriously folks, do
I really look like I'm joking?
:mad:

just for suggestions: does Bybee ring any bells?
