Besides Bolton, and trying desperately to legalize at least part of his Imperial Presidency in the last throes of the Republican Congress, Bush has resubmitted these four nominations for federal judgeships.

"The four most controversial nominees that President Bush resubmitted are ideological in the extreme. William Myers III, a longtime lobbyist for mining and timber interests, would no doubt use his position on the San Francisco-based United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to gut environmental laws. William Haynes II, who helped develop the administration’s torture and “enemy combatant” policies as the top lawyer for the Pentagon, could be counted on to undermine both civil liberties and reasonable limits on executive power."

He ain't even pretending to try. At least that's honest.
