A Filibuster?
Democratic senators say
they may filibuster any attempt to confirm John Bolton`s nomination as U.S.
ambassador to the United Nations.
President Bush gave Bolton a recess appointment last year when Sen. George
Voinovich, R-Ohio, refused to support the nomination in the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
Voinovich announced last week that he has had a change of heart.
President Bush said Tuesday he believes guest workers will go home to Mexico after their jobs end. He didn't say how he was going to get ten million temporary workers to leave the country. He can't even get Karl Rove out of the White House.
