Senator Ted Kennedy has called the recess appointment of John Bolton as U.N. ambassador a "devious maneuver that evades the constitutional requirement of Senate consent." But nearly six years ago when Republicans were blocking President Clinton's nominees to various posts, and warning against recess appointments Kennedy said, "I have long urged recess appointments to break this logjam this irresponsible, unconstitutional Republican leadership position which fails to give people their due and fails to meet the constitutional standard."
I previously reported his position pirouette on the subject of judicial philosophy. Teddy is certainly being consistent in his inconsistency.
