Bolton Blocked

More obstruction and stonewalling from Senate Democrats. "The vote was 54-38, six shy of the total needed to force a final vote on Bolton."

Joe Biden isn't much interested in Bolton, but rather is feigning indignance about "taking a stand" against President Bush.

It's all a charade of a trumped up issue.

Opposition to Bolton has become a party matter.....This baffling process becomes
intelligible only in terms that Dodd and Biden want to hold together the
Democrats on grounds of senatorial prerogative in demanding information. Sen. Charles Schumer, a Democrat who often removes the veils from his party's
strategy, conceded that this trumped up issue unified the caucus as it had in
opposing Miguel Estrada's failed judicial nomination.
