Red Meat

Bush is at it again. He's now made a recess appointment of Pryor to the 11th Circuit, after having done the same with Pickering a few weeks back. This appointment is clearly aimed at his right-wing base, with whom he's having increasing difficulties lately. Well, actually he's having difficulties with all groups lately. But I think this appointment is yet another sign of Bush trying to appease the right.

BTW, I think it also helps to fire up the extreme partisans on the left too. Judicial nominations are issues, by and large, that the general electorate doesn't think too much about (except for the Supreme Court) but that the extremes in each party care deeply about.
