On Friday the Washington Post reported that President Bush may soon appoint dozens of new judicial nominees. The article strongly suggests that the President is not going to consult with Senate Democrats about his choices:
The Bush team indicated that it plans no changes in its selection process in the wake of the Senate deal. Senate Democrats said they have not been consulted on any new nominations.
This stubborn refusal to consult with the other party in order to identify reasonable, consensus nominees benefits no-one—not the President, not the relationship between the three branches of government, and least of all not the American people.
