Bolton Blocked - How About a Recess Appointment?

Apparently the goodwill which supposedly broke out in the Senate on Monday has already evaporated with a new filibuster of John Bolton. The Dems have decided to postpone the final vote on Bolton until next month, but Bush still has one big arrow in his quiver. Now that the Senate is in recess, I would love to see Bush punch the Dems right in the eye and make Bolton a recess appointment. In fact, while he's at it, he could appoint William Myers to the 9th Circuit and Henry Saad to the 6th Circuit since neither one of these guys are likely to get a floor vote.

These appointments would put all three guys in office through the end of 2006. By that time Bolton will have either destroyed the world as we know it (as feared by the Dems), or will have proven to be an effective advocate for the US with that bunch of thieves on Turtle Bay. After the Dems lose some more seats in 2006, confirming Bolton in 2007 will be no problem.

Go for it Mr. President - the base has had a bad week and you could turn it all around with a stroke of your pen.
