because he can't possibly nominate someone qualified and non-controversial

Bush re-nominates Bradbury as OLC head.

President Bush announced today that he is re-nominating Steven Bradbury to be head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, despite the Senate’s objections. Bradbury came under criticism last fall “when it was disclosed that he was the author of a pair of secret legal opinions that endorsed rough techniques for suspects in the custody of the Central Intelligence Agency.” More on Bradbury’s history with torture here.

Gawd forbid that he ever compromise in the least! He's sure that he'll be able to force his way no matter what because he's been given the green light so many times before, despite legitimate objections. The House needs to stand up to this asshole and not give in to his unreasonable demands yet again...
