Boltin' on Bolton

We managed to avoid another cloture vote on Bolton yesterday, but we still face the possibility of a recess appointment by Bush. The other disturbing bit is the three Democrats who broke ranks to vote with the Republicans in the 54-38 count. These were Sens. Landrieu (LA), Pryor (AR) and Nelson (NE). These are three of the more prominent members who were the architects of the judicial compromise last month. The Democratic party cannot let these members hijack the party for an ever changing center; the party needs to take a stand and show solidarity and strength.

Props to Sen. Voinovich (R-OH) for voting against cloture.
