FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 2002 President Bush on Thursday said he had a right to nominate conservative judges to the federal bench even if no one likes them. Speaking at a fundraiser in Texas, Bush predicted a fight with the Senate over his picks. Although numerous judges have been confirmed, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee killed Charles Pickering, a nominee to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Bush also said his nominees would be "strict constructionists" who would interpret the U.S. Constitution strictly. Get the Story:
