Bolton Appointed U.N. Ambassador

President Bush Monday bypassed Congress and appointed John Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations with the goal of helping “the U.N. reform itself.”

The new ambassador’s mission is “to help the U.N. reform itself to renew its founding promises for the 21st century,” Bush said, adding that Bolton “will make it clear that America values the potential of the United Nations to be a source of hope and dignity and peace. (source)

It’s no surprise that President Bush would take the fast easy way to get Bolton into the position of U.N. Ambassador to the United States. This is par for the course. If you don’t like what the courts say about something, alienate them by calling the judges on the court “activist judges” who are “legislating from the bench”. So what if their ruling is in accordance to the Constitution? Their decisions are unpopular and should not be allowed, damn it! And if we have to change the Constitution because it is getting in our way of doing what we damn well want to do, so be it! It’s a pain in the ass anyway.

And if the Congress gets in your way, simply wait for them to go on recess, then make your appointment. Simple.

I would say this to President Bush.

We need a President that has a goal of helping the United States reform itself. We need a President that will make it clear that America values every citizen equally in our nation, along with other people of the world, and will be an shining example of hope, dignity, and peace for all people. We need a President who will recognize the Constitution of the United States as a living document that has at it’s core the basis of human dignity. We need a President who will respect that.

“So today, I’ve used my constitutional authority to appoint John Bolton to serve as America’s ambassador to the United Nations.” - President Bush.

When the Constitution works for the President, he’s very willing to embrace the document. When it says something he doesn’t like, he wants to amend it. The Constitution of the United States should be bigger than being a pawn to a fool.
