I commend Justice Stevens for making clear that today's action by the Supreme Court in no way supports the abuse of power by President Bush in bypassing the Senate on Mr. Pryor's appointment to the Court of Appeals. I intend to keep raising this issue. It's essential for the White House and Senate Republicans to obey the rule of law on judicial nominations.
