So, What about Mr. Bolton...? I thought Frist was gonna bring up the vote

[spanone]

Can you say, RECESS APPOINTMENT???? Maybe I missed something.

1. It is Wed... and NO vote

and Friday is a half day at school... kids have to fly home.... :)

edited to add..

Frisk could have told the kids to stay in DC and do a Friday afternoon vote thinking all the Dems have left for home...

2. No senate vote until documents received from the White House

Even Frist knows that a cloture vote will fail in the senate until the requested documents are received. The White House continues to obstruct the process by refusing to release the documents. Until they do, Frist can't hold another vote.

So it's up to the White House. They have 3 options - release the documents, do a recess appointment or withdraw Bolton's name. So far there is a lot of speculation but there don't seem to be any leaks yet as to what they plan to do.

6. STOP BOLTON!

Anyone is Better than Bolton! Apply today to be U.S. Ambassador to the UN

There may well BE another cloture vote. Some on the Hill are considering it for after the July 4th recess. The Bolton fight is NOT over.

Tell the Senate to Continue to Oppose Bolton - visit www.stopbolton.org

Most of the world now knows that John Bolton is damaged goods and could never be an effective ambassador at the UN. The Senate has not confirmed him because of his questionable handling of intelligence, ineffectiveness on critical international security issues, and disdain for international institutions and law. Yet, the White House is digging in its heels and may ignore the Senate’s concerns by giving Bolton a recess appointment.

We need you to Support the Senate in its efforts to Stop Bolton and let the White House know that anyone else would be better for the job.

All of you should apply today for the job. If you believe the Administration should work with the Senate and the United States should engage with the rest of the world to tackle terrorism, UN reform, and nuclear weapons , then you are better qualified than John Bolton! Show the Senate and the White House just how many alternatives to Bolton they have!

You can send emails directly to your senator thru www.stopbolton.org

*This message is not a sincere application for the position, but rather an attempt to illustrate Mr. Bolton’s serious shortcomings. Please oppose Mr. Bolton’s nomination.
