BOLTON VOTE CLOTURE RESULTS
38 Oppose Cloture -- 54 Favor Cloture -- 60 Votes Needed to Get Cloture
CLOTURE ON BOLTON VOTE BLOCKED BECAUSE OF WHITE HOUSE OBSTRUCTIONISM ON DOCUMENTS
again, according to steve...
John Bolton is the wrong person for the job. It was high-handed enough of the White House to appoint him, but even more high-handed for them to not yield on legitimate document requests from the Senate.
It will be even more high-handed if the Cheney-Bolton wing of the White House now pushes John Bolton into the U.N. with a recess appointment.
at least no one is rolling over for bushco on this one... i keep waiting for the tipping point... maybe we're gettin' close...
