Bush the baby can't seem to win...so just wants to amend the Constitutional process that his Publican boyz ABUSED for EIGHT YEARS......poor little rich boy..... Bush Urges Judicial Process Changes He wants deadlines for considering U.S. court nominees. Timing of proposal is criticized. By James Gerstenzang , Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON -- Frustrated by Senate delays in considering his federal court nominees, President Bush on Wednesday proposed overhauling the judicial nomination process, setting specific deadlines for the Senate to act on each candidate. The proposal, which would make the first such changes in the nomination process since Jimmy Carter was president, would require the cooperation of both the Senate and the federal judges who plan to retire. The timing of the announcement — six days before the congressional elections — and the limited consultation that the White House conducted with the Senate left critics saying that it was a politically motivated measure rather than one likely to have a lasting effect. Under Bush's plan, judges on U.S. district and appeals courts would be asked to notify the White House of their retirement date one year in advance. By custom, the judges, who have lifetime appointments, generally provide a six-month notification. The president would submit a nomination within 180 days after learning of a vacancy. The Senate Judiciary Committee would have 90 days to conduct a hearing on the nominee, and the Senate would vote on the nomination within 180 days after its submission. Calling his plan "a clean start" to a process that has become mired in politics and acrimony, Bush said: "We must have an evenhanded, predictable procedure from the day a vacancy is announced to the day a new judge is sworn in.
