Another positive note regarding last week is that Bush didn't run anyone over with a segway or bike.
At least not that we know of. Gotta look for the positives.

A question for any of you who are constitutionally-sound...
If Congress does not vote in or reject Alito by the end of their session, can Bush just use an executive order to put him in? I have heard of some instances of similar before... just curious what the protocol is, and too sick (had a heart cath) to spend time looking it up.

What, like a "pocket confirmation?" Maybe, sounds like it could be done.

No one in the President Bush Administration even took cheap pot shots at Prosecutor Fitzgerald the way the Dems and the Clinton ADM were calling Ken Star a Pervert either... That looks to be a big difference
between the Libs and the Conservatives... :hmmm:

I believe this was done recently with a lower court justice that the Demcrats wouldn't allow a vote on, and Ted Kennedy sued and lost.
Don't remember all the details though, and I can't be bothered to look it up right now. But there's a lead if you're really interested.

On a pocket confirmation, the nominee would be installed only on a temporary basis. He'd have a finite term that expires when the current congress finished its term. For a UN nominee... ok, fine. For a Supreme Court nominee, it'd be pointless. If you cant win, you should try again with someone else.

So the term is "pocket confirmation?" Heh, good guess, me.

This is O'Connor's resignation letter...
Dear President Bush:
"This is to inform you of my decision to retire from my position as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Untied States, effective upon the nomination and confirmation of my successor.
"It has been a great privilege, indeed, to have served as a member of the Court for 24 terms.
"I will leave it with enormous respect for the integiry of the Court and its role under our constitutional structure."
Sincerely,
Sandra Day O'Connor
From CNN (http://edition.cnn.com/2005/LAW/07/01/oconnor.letter/)
Sounds like she will stay on through term if need be. Also makes you wonder if SHE could fight a pocket confirmation? She was appointed for life, does that mean she gets to dictate that a justice MUST be confirmed?
Anyways, on a side note, I was glad to see I'm not the only one who writes extremely short resignation letters. Just never know what to say.
Edit:
hmm, just noticed the misspelling. Assuming that was CNN, not O'Connor, of the clan O'Connor. (sorry, Duncan McCloud just popped into my head)

I think there's also some debate as to whether O'Connor's "time-delay" resignation is kosher. I.e., is there really a vacancy for which Bush can nominate a replacement when she hasn't resigned yet? I think most people rely on the "we've done it this way before, and we're doing it this way now, so there." All nonjusticable political questions, no doubt. ;)

Technically, the number of Supreme Court justices is determined by congress, not the constitution. If we had a problem with O'Connor, congress could temporarily expand the court to 10 justices. For that matter, they could expand it to 21 justices on a whim, and have the president appoint 12 new justices.

I imagine that the number of justices is set by the Judiciary Act of whenever, so it's not like the president could nominate potential justices until he's winded and have the Senate confirm them. The House would have to get into the act.

Objectivity vs. Subjectivity, although the objectivity is subject to scrutiny. Statistics and Pols can be manufacted. What it comes down to is that I'm still disappointed in Bush, and that is a subjective truth... and to me, that's all that matters.
True objectivity does exists, but it's a math equation...

Some of you doubt that 3.80% Growth is not a positive...
Some of you doubt that the 2nd positive vote in Iraq is not a positive...
Some of you doubt that nominating Samuel Alito
to the SCOTUS is a not a positive. To you libs
this may not be a positive. But President Bush
said all during the RE-ELECTION of his presidency
that he would nominate people to the SCOTUS
in the same spirit as Scalia and Thomas. Thats
a big Positive for people who voted for him.
How many people voted for him? Was it over
59 million people. Thats a big positive for
those 59 Million.

Alito is too liberal. We need somebody with more commitment to conservative causes. The Supreme Court needs more scalia's and thomas'es. Then we would see some real judicial activism of the right kind.
