President Bush has re-nominated seven candidates for the federal appeals courts. Each was blocked by Senate Democrats during his first term. He also sent back to the Senate five other nominees for the federal appeals courts whose confirmations were slowed because of Democratic concerns regarding their legal backgrounds. Bush has accused Democrats of blocking votes on so many of his nominations that they have created “judicial emergencies.”

2. Judicial approval rates :65% for Clinton 95% for George. More than any

other president. What kind of people support such lying hypocrites?


This was in our Denver Post letters to the editor yesterday. The letter is about half way down after the school reform letters.

"Even as a Republican, I start to wonder how much of the press is just propaganda. So I asked my legal friends, what's the record here? They advised me, "Come on! Bush has had more than a hundred judges appointed and only 10 rejected. That's over 90 percent approved. Neither Bush Sr. nor Reagan enjoyed that kind of success. In fact, no president has enjoyed over a 90 percent appointment rating."

Why are you not giving me the bigger picture? How can the newspaper leave this great success rate out of the articles? As a Republican, how can I realistically tell how we're faring? I'm starting to feel like the propaganda is muting even the good points."
