Two words: recess appointments

Via Pejman comes this late story from the WashPost: "Dem said to be blocking Bush nominees"

WASHINGTON - A Democrat has blocked all of President Bush's judicial nominees in the Senate, which could end any chance of more confirmations before the end of the year, officials said Wednesday.

That's right, an anonymous Democrat has put a "stop" on all judicial nominees, through some kind of weird Senate rule.

This foolishness has to stop. It's clear that Democrats don't believe in majority rule, otherwise they would allow the full Senate to cast an up-or-down vote on Bush's judicial nominees. So, since we're all setting new precedents, Bush should just give Priscilla Owen and Janice Brown (among others) recess appointments and be done with it.
