1. The Democrats should still fight to get the state department papers

on Bolton that bush refused to turn over

Expose these criminals for what they are

[MidnightWind]

2. Plus we know the bastard lied on his paperwork for the job anyway

saying that he was not involved in any ongoing litigation when in fact, he testified in front of the Grand Jury investigating the Plame affair.

4. they better NOT give a free pass to Roberts either

They must demand all the papers on roberts. Attorney client privledge doesn't cut it

[sleipnir]

3. Well, I hope the UN votes "NO" on accepting him.

8. Damaged goods...damaged goods...damaged goods

We need to ram this message home! THis is a slap in the face to the UN and to the world. It's like lifting one large middle finger to every country in the United Nations.

I hate Bush so much I could spit!

13. gee. I'm glad that "compromise" worked so well.

screw the traitorous "14"., and the elephant they rode in on.

yes, I'm angry. How many DLC'ers and apologists for the compromise told me "just wait and see, it'll be a GOOD thing to abadon the filibuster"


grrrrr.

16. The man is a pure PNAC insider. Get ready for more fascism. n/t

17. No wonder why the coward went to to the ranch.

If President Clinton did this they'd string him up. Welcome to DU midnightwind wish it were under better circumstances.

19. Let's hang this arrogance on the Repugs' necks for 2006 elections

By then, Bolton will have resigned because of his links to Rovegate and Rove will hopefully be in chains by then as well.

Two can play this game.

20. Bush is a bully

We need to make this clear.... It is has been proven that Bolton is a bully.... putting him in to a diplomatic posts just shows Bush's stance on diplomacy, lets bully 'em. So after a long battle in which Democrats have compromised on so many contemptuous nominees, Bush decides to use his ill-gotten executive power..BULLY. Thats what they are.

This president has not done one thing that I wanted. This action just goes to show the contemptuous means these bullies will go to get EVERYTHING they want... they are bypassing the DIPLOMATIC measures of CONGRESS to install a DIPLOMAT! This is WRONG!

I don't think that this "damaged goods" thing matters, this guy is so dangerous, I don't want foreign leaders to hear one thing out of his mouth. We are sure to pay for his mouth, it will be very ugly and dangerous. (&*(F**&*U%%##@C$%^#K&*@@!!!

21. isn't it illegal to use a recess appointment in this case?

IIRC the vacancy didn't arise during the recess.
