Encouraged Democrats to Thwart Bush Judicial Appointees
Bruce Ackerman suggested shortly after his first inauguration that President George W. Bush was not a valid president and therefore, his judicial appointments should be opposed. He wrote in part: "The right-wing bloc on the Court should not be permitted to extend its control for a decade or more simply because it has put George W. Bush into the White House...Forty senators should simply make it plain that they will block all Supreme Court nominations until the next presidential election."[4]
