As everyone on both sides of the isle, and in-&-out of the “fever swamp” gets geared up for the battle royale that is surely coming, Hugh Hewitt has a poignant reminder of what has been done before, and can certainly be done again.

It would also be useful to start reminding people that there have been more than 300 recess appointments of judges in the country’s history, beginning with George Washington, and including appointments to the Supreme Court. Eisenhower used recess appointments to put Chief Justice Warren, and Justices Brennan and Stewart on the bench. If the Senate gets roiled by procedural obstructionism, President Bush should be prepared to place his nominee on the court and allow the process to catch up with the new Justice sometime before the end of 2006.

I just love watching lefties lose it completely and wiggle like live worms on a hook! If they haven’t learned yet that Bush is one tough hombre, guess they can just learn it all over again — & again — & again . . . (db)
