http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8758621/

Checks and balances are in danger. Contact your Senators now to tell them to stand up to this!

1. But they're all on vacation. I wonder if this could convince
some of them this could be a wee more important.:eyes:

2. After lying about being questioned
he wouldn't even pass on a vote I don't think. Chafee said he would vote against him if he didn't tell the truth. I have to think there are a few others who would to.

3. I wonder if the other UN delegates will play nice with him...
...or if they'll treat him like the POS that they know he is.

4. Will any Dem speak up or..
will they eat shit, as usual.

The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may
happen during the recess of the Senate,

by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.

Bolton's opening did not happen during the recess.

10. Maybe they won't recognize him.. but I doubt it. We might
bring democracy to their country if they don't.

5. This is a very, very bad move on his part.
He will pay a big price for this, especially if Bolton is swept up in Fitzgerald's investigation, which looks very possible. I think *** is going off his rocker. His whole administration has got to have their shorts in a bunch over the polls, the investigation, and a very hungry press corps.

Appointing Bolton now will further antagonize the Senate. There will inevitably be consequences. It's very interesting the disregard they have shown for consequences. It illustrates an incredible level of hubris. They really have no respect for the law, the truth, or the country.

The people are finding this out. Slowly, but surely they will turn.

6. Did You Not Know This Was Going To Happen?
It has been obvious that it was going to happen since the Senate's confirmation process broke down. And Why did it break down, you might reasonably ask? Because the White House refuses to hand over documents requested by the Senate.

They are filthy bastards, do not doubt anything of them.

7. Their arrogance knows no bounds
Total disregard for the constitution.

Total contempt for Congress, or at least those who dont automatically rubber stamp everything or everyone Dumbya wants.

Total disregard for the American people.

IMPEACH!!!
