Recess appointment appears likely as minority balks again
The comity and spirit of cooperation the Gang of Fourteen promised as a result of the deal to stop judicial filibusters has been shattered by continued political wrangling over the nomination of John Bolton to be Ambassador to the United Nations. Bolton would be confirmed and on his way to New York City if the Democratic minority had not prevented an up-or-down vote yesterday.
Bloomberg News manages to avoid any mention of Democratic obstruction in its headline about Monday's cloture vote: Republicans Fail to Gain Senate Vote on Bolton Nomination to UN. At least the Washington Post gets it right: Democrats Block Vote on Bolton
For several years the Democrats have been beefing about a lack of diplomacy, but now are determined to keep the seat at the United Nations vacant. It is already known that they don't want reform of the international body and futher investigation into the oil-for-food scandal, but this filibuster is simply more obstruction of the President's agenda.
Observe how quickly the Old Media started to spin that Bush is already a lame duck. But it's just business as usual in what used to be called the "Daschle dead zone." Look for a recess appointment and a push for 60 Republican senators in 2006.
