Let’s Not Argue Over Who Appointed Whom…

He’s BACK! It’s been awhile since we’ve had such a lovely diatribe from Dave Jagernauth. I actually quite like this one, trying to make recess appointments the equivalent of say, suspending habeus corpus. And, before y’all go off on me about Lincoln Bashing, know that I’m making fun of these guys [Personally, I find the idea of suspending habeus corpus to be repugnant, but desperate times like the War Between the States call for desperate measures. IE it needs to be viewed in context, shut up NC Review]. Bush is no more a dictator for making recess appointments than Clinton was for doing the same. The process is being respected, as the Executive is allowed to make such appointment under law. Furthermore, the judges will only sit until the next congress convenes, at which time they will be subject to the same filibustering treatment they received earlier. Estrada was railroaded because he’s a Hispanic conservative. Brown subscribes to some doctrine flowing from Lochner, and the hard-line Dems simply can’t have that. How could a justice constantly come down on the side of individuals’ property rights in America? SHOCKING!
