Britain - Reaction to Bolton's U.N. Appointment

The Guardian reports. Not surprisingly the Guardian quotes 8 Democrats and only 4 Republicans.

Notice that a lot of the Democrats are saying President Bush is abusing his power, even though he has the right under the Constitution. And there is this:

``It's sad that even while the president preaches democracy around the world, he bends the rules and circumvents the will of Congress in appointing our representative to the United Nations.'' - Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J.

The Democrats didn't seem to mind Clinton "bending the rules" when he was in office. Clinton made recess appointments 140 times!
