Shake for me, girl, I wanna be your back door judge
More proof that the Saturday papers should be more widely read: on Friday, the White House appointed Charles Pickering to the Fifth Circuit court of appeals in a maneuver designed to circumvent the block that Congressional Democrats had put in place against Pickering. Essentially, this is what is known as a recess appointment, and stands to be reviewed by Congress in 2005. The knock against Pickering is a relatively poor record on Civil Rights, and, by all accounts a right-wing ideologue. Interesting that Pickering (now known as The Back Door Judge) was appointed on MLK Holiday weekend, when Pickering had left the Democratic party in the 60s because of Democratic support for Civil Rights legislation. Verbal Jazz remains unsurprised in the White House's continual attempts to bend the rules to its own will.
