Bush's attempted takeover of the Judicial Branch is getting shot down

[ck4829]

The Committee for Justice was practically giddy at the announcement that the White House intended to tap Fred Fielding to replace failed Supreme Court hopeful Harriet Miers as White House Counsel.

The administration’s decision to bring in Fielding, the CFJ claimed, signals to Senate Democrats that “there’s no point in obstructing constitutionalist nominees in hopes of getting ones that are less objectionable to the Left,” which is exactly what the Right wants to hear because they love nothing more than fighting over the issue.

Unfortunately for CFJ, just hours after they issued their press release came news that three of the Bush administration’s most recent and controversial nominees are asking that their nominations be withdrawn.

Oooops...
Seems that not only are they 'controversial' in their ideology, but their records might not bear up too well under scrutiny either.
I'm shocked, I tell ya...who'da thunk it?
