Well, DUH

Colorado Democratic Senator Ken Salazar claims the White House has NOT consulted with him on several appointments to the federal district court in Denver -- saying it's a requirement of the Constitution.

Salazar was one of 14 senators who broke a logjam of judicial appointments in a 2005 compromise known as the "Gang of 14." The lawmakers reached a deal to prevent a Democratic attempt to filibuster the confirmation of conservative appellate court candidates nominated by President Bush.

Well, no shit. I could have told Salazar that Republicans in general, and Bush in particular DO NOT negotiate in good faith. They are all TAKE and no GIVE. Salazar and his 6 "Democratic" colleagues -- Lieberman, Byrd, Ben Nelson, Landrieu, Inouye, and Pryor -- should have known better than to be part of this "gang of 14" bullshit. As soon as Bush go what he wanted, he kicked them to the curb, just like he alway does.
