This tactic was decried as terribly wrong when Bill Clinton used it to temporarily force a queer (James Hormel) on us, after Congress REJECTED him. But now that Bush is doing THE EXACT SAME THING to put a supposed conservative (we long ago proved he wasn't) in the same position (ambassador fill-in), I bet most conservative Christians will suddenly think it's a wonderful tactic.
Bush may do another Clinton
May bypass Senate and appoint Bolton to UN
WASHINGTON -- The White House signaled on Monday that President Bush may bypass the Senate and appoint John Bolton, his embattled nominee for U.N. ambassador, to the post temporarily as hope faded for a Senate vote on the nomination. Congressional aides said a recess appointment could be announced as early as Friday night, immediately after the Senate is scheduled to adjourn for the month long August break. A recess appointment would allow Bolton to take up the U.N. post but he would serve only until January 2007.
