What would MLK think?

Calpundit ponts out that for the second year in a row, Bush dishonors MLK's memory just in time for his holiday. Last year he opposed affirmative action at the University of Michigan, and this year he has awarded Charles Pickering a seat on the 5th Circuit Court via recess appointment while Congressis out of session. Pickering being a judge whose civilrights record sucks and was fairly and democratically filibustered in the Senate last year. But adherin to democracy has never been one of Bush's strong points, has it?
