Recess appt. of Bolton over July 4th recess?
Send a lame idoit! Just like a bushitler would!
Yahoo News

It was unclear whether Rice's statement was an indication that the administration would seriously consider a recess appointment for Bolton or whether it was meant to increase leverage for White House bargaining with Senate Democrats.

Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record), D-Del., predicted that Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., would fail in an effort late Monday to end the filibuster. He said Democrats are standing for principle by delaying the vote until the administration provides what they seek.

Sen. Christopher Dodd (news, bio, voting record), D-Conn., told ABC that a recess appointment would send to the United Nations an ambassador "who lacks the confidence of the United States Senate." That, he said, would "cripple" Bolton as he goes to the world body and damage his standing with the Senate.

1. Hopefully the Dem's would shut down the Senate when they got back...
... force the 'thugs hand to show how little they care about the Constitution.

3. Oh, Bush will do it
After all, he did the same with those towering judicial intellects Brown and Pryor. Then, next spring he will send Bolton back to the Senate, and Frist will start rattling the nuke option again, and of course, the Dems will do the synchronized cave manuevar. And yes, I hope I'm proven wrong.

11. You bet your sweet bippy he will
What's more, the recess appointment is only good for one year but that's more than enough time for him to do his dirty work.

14. It almost gives the impression that the Bushies don't care what the
people of the US think, let alone what the rest of the world thinks of us. If I were the rest of the world, I'd just kick our asses out of the UN until we get our shit together and elect a grown-up!
