President Bush nominated John Bolton to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Many Democrats in the Senate disapprove of the nomination. Using Senate rules to delay the proceedings, no vote is taken by the Senate. During the summer recess, President Bush appoints Mr. Bolton as ambassador to the U.N. as he has the constitutional right to do and as he had said he would. The two Senators from Illinois complain that the President by-passed the Senate and appointed the wrong person to the position. What is wrong with this picture?

If the Democrats had enough votes to prevent the appointment, they would have supported a vote on the question. They delayed the vote because they were rather certain they would lose. Then, they complain when the President uses his constitutional authority to fill the vacancy. When are they going to realize that they have lost control of the government because the majority of the voting people in this country disapprove of their policies and are now in the process of correcting thirty plus years of the murder of the unborn, giving civil rights to immoral behavior, and trying to remove GOD from all aspects of the government?

It's like children playing a game of football. One rule allows a team to withhold the ball to prevent the game from being played. The team does so because the team members are fearful that they will lose. However, another rule allows the other team to use its own football if one is not available from the first team. Then, the original team complains because the game was played anyway. When are they going to grow up? Either have a vote (play the game) or don't complain when you lose anyway.
