Make sure Bolton is Bush's last appointment ever.
George Bush circumvented the United States Senate today. He spit on the duty of the Senate to advise and consent.

From this day forward, at least 40 Democratic Senators should stand up as a bloc, and filibuster any and every appointment Bush makes from this point on, from John Roberts to the Supreme Court to some party hack for dogcatcher in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Bush has declared war on the Senate, and they should respond in kind.

4. Absolutely...this is WAR
Chimpy made his last smirk with Bolton.

As far as ANY SCOTUS appointment, he should have ANY candidate shot down cold. Nobody makes it through the door.

SHUT WASHINGTON DOWN! Filibustering is the only choice now.

The only thing that needs to be worked on full throttle is Rovegate and impeachment proceedings for Bush, Cheney, Condi...

Bush proved he doesn't care for the rule of law and has utterly no respect for the truth, democracy or even service to our country. Let him rot in his own shit.

5. That would be nice...
... but I'll bet a dollar to your doughnut that it doesn't happen.

The crowd we have in the senate right now seem to enjoy getting sand kicked in their faces over and over - they never do jack shit about it.

I wish I could muster your kind of optimism :)
