Bush to Put Nominations Back on Table
Bush
WASHINGTON  Nov. 15 â White House officials said Wednesday that  President Bush  would renominate six of  his  earlier choices to sit on the federal appeals court  leaving Democratic senators and other analysts to ponder what message  he  is sending.
When the 110th Congress is seated in January   Mr. Bush  can deliver another list of judicial nominees to the Senate  which will by then have a Democratic majority.
 Mr. Bushâs  motive in sending up the nominations has been closely analyzed  with several Democrats and liberals labeling  it  as provocative and a sign that  he  does not intend to seek compromise as  he  suggested  he  would after Republican losses in the elections last week.
âDemocrats have asked  the president  to be bipartisan  but this is a clear slap in the face at our request â said Senator Charles E. Schumer  Democrat of New York  who is a member of the Judiciary Committee. âFor the sake of the country  we hope that this is an aberration because  the president  feels  he  must placate  his  hard-right base rather than an indication of things to come.â
