"Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his temporary appointment expires within weeks, the White House said Monday" (source). Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Marty Lederman has an essay on Jack Balkin's page arguing that the recess appointment of John Bolton as our Ambassador to the UN is unconstitutional, as are almost all such appointments made not just by Bush but by Clinton and most presidents before him. I fully agree with him. Lederman authored…
PZ and others have already blogged about this, but since it deals with public health in a big way, I thought I'd give it a mention here as well. Seems Bush has made yet another highly questionable appointment in the Department of Health and Human Services. Shocking, I know.

Getting crank letters (or comments) goes with the territory on a blog. But what Sri Lanka's UN Ambassador Prasad Kariyawasam is getting seems a bit excessive. 100,000 letters from Americans complaining a UN Conference on illegal small arms trade is taking place on -- imagine this -- July 4, that…
Jon Rowe predicts that Bush will have as many as 3 appointments to the Supreme Court in his second term, and most court-watchers would agree. One seems a bare minimum, two seems quite likely and three is very possible. Much of the focus has been on Chief Justice Rehnquist lately, given his ongoing…
Good riddence to bad rubbish, as Mom used to say.
You're stinky sore winners, aren't ya? All your "scientist" bunch make me puke. Maybe you can fucking stop gloating and circle-jerking and post something - you know - science-related?
(I guess my comment is not fair and high-minded, but i really fed up with your puerile outflows on matters that are sadly beyond your understanding. Actually if you think you have a legit case to post this garbage - maybe you care to discuss Bolton's actual contribution in UN???)
Folks,
We have a real emergency here. Apparently someone is holding "saddamov" at gun-point and forcing him to read "this garbage" and my "puerile outflows on matters that are sadly beyond [my] understanding". It is a shame to see someone as articulate and wise as "saddamov" being held this way. His IP address maps to Russia so this could be an international incident. Perhaps we should get the UN involved?
Don't get the UN involved yet--wait until Bolton fixes it. After all, that's his mandate...oh...never mind. It was funny hearing President Bush on the radio today, saying about the resignation, "I accepted it, but [high squeeky voice]I didn't want to...no, no, no![/high squeeky voice].
Bolton's actual contribution in UN
Good - i knew you'd like some friendly attention from Mother Russia - now don't forget to check your piss for polonium-210, you never new what you inhale while sniffing out IPs of suspicious comments.
As for that predictable heap of doodoo from "The Nation" - there was actually a pearl there - about Ban giving our Johnny senior position somewhere in UN. Think Wolfowitz, friend.
