Bush pushes Senate to confirm federal judges


CINCINNATI (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."

With his historically low poll ratings, Bush isn't exactly welcome at campaign rallies, appearing at the side of candidates. So indirect help like his speech here, and his fundraising efforts that landed the GOP $2.5 million over the last four days, are his strongest campaign tools. All of the fundraisers were held out of the view of the press and the public.

He called on the Democratic-run Senate, in the final days of his presidency, to vote on filling 34 vacancies in the federal circuit and district courts. Realistically, 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.
