Let's talk about replacing GWBush in 2004.

When President Bush nominated William G. Myers III to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco in May 2003, judicial experience apparently wasn't a factor in the choice. Myers has spent little time in the courtroom as a lawyer, and has never been a judge. Instead he made his name as a lobbyist for major Republican donors, especially in the coal industry. Despite that lack of experience, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-9 to move Myers' nomination to the full Senate on Thursday.

But a Federal Trade Commission decision to block a Wyoming coal consolidation that was made possible by a Myers lobbying blitz is shining a spotlight on the nominee's corporate background, and raising new questions about whether the Bush White House is using the courts as another way to pay back the special interests from which it raises millions of dollars. Corporate interests have become increasingly involved in attempts to influence the outcome of state judicial elections, so developing sway with the federal judiciary seems a logical step. There is no doubt that confirming Myers would give big business a friend on the crucial 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Here is a extract from an article in the NYtimes April 2, 2004


[/Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman, said some Clinton administration documents had been withheld because they were "duplicative or unrelated," while others were withheld because they were "highly sensitive" and the information in them could be relayed to the commission in other ways. "We are providing the commission with access to all the information they need to do their job," Mr. McClellan said.

When did the 43rd admistration decide what to give and what not to give to the the Independent 9-11 Panel and make decisions on what the Panel NEED FOR THE JOB. Its time this big Brother attitude was put in place.

The American People are not ruled by a political Party but are governed by duely elected represenatives of the people.

It would appear that certain politicians seem to ignore that fact.

I've had much better fortune, though in fact this very minute, it has dropped on me. I think their servers are sweating.

Penalty! Ten yards for finger-pointing! :wink:

After further review, the play stands as called. Ten yards. Resume play!
