    Can we say "recess appointment"?

    Whatever it takes -- repeated blocking of nominees, filibustering, protracted hearings -- it is critical that it be done in order to restore integrity to the DOJ. A less-than-independent replacement as Attorney General will be entirely the fault of Democrats if they allow it to happen.

    Great advice for helping out the Republicans. There's nothing like blatant Democrat partisanship to advance our agenda. This could be a win-win for Bush.
