Nice move, Mr. President

Normally, I don't think I'd approve of this, but congressional Democrats have been unreasonable and obstructionist for most of Bush's two terms.
President Bush used Congress’s Easter break today to defy Democratic lawmakers and appoint three officials who have already drawn heavy criticism on Capitol Hill.
[...]
Naming the three while Congress is in recess allows Mr. Bush to avoid the Senate confirmation process. The recess appointments allow the three to remain in their posts until the end of 2008, virtually the end of Mr. Bush’s second term.
