George Bush actually said...

"As a result of today's recess appointment, Judge Pickering will fill a seat on the Fifth Circuit that has been designated a judicial emergency."

"Today I was proud to exercise my constitutional authority to appoint Judge Charles W. Pickering to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit."

"Again I call on the Senate to stop playing politics with the American judicial system and to give my nominees the up-or-down votes they deserve."

"Faith is power greater than all others."
