I tell you what, Pres. Bush is showing me some cojones with his decision to renominate Charles Pickering for the Federal judiciary (what with the whole Trent Lott fiasco and all). My only hope is that the general public will see through the predictable rantings of people like Sen. Charles Schumer who are relining up their old idiotic platitudes about how Pickering is a threat to civil rights and will send American blacks back into slavery.
