' Bush picked Pryor last April for a seat on the 11th Circuit that covers Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Abortion rights advocates immediately mounted a campaign against the nominee, citing his criticism of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that said women had a constitutional right to terminate pregnancy.

Pryor also came under fire for filing a Supreme Court brief in a Texas sodomy case comparing homosexual acts to ``prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography and even incest and pedophilia.'' '

Bush Installs Judge, Bypassing Senate

Excerpt--

WASHINGTON (AP) - Bypassing angry Senate Democrats, President Bush installed Alabama Attorney General William Pryor as a U.S. appeals court judge on Friday in his second ``recess appointment'' of a controversial nominee in five weeks.

Pryor's federal appointment has been vigorously opposed by Democratic senators who have objected to his past comments and writings on abortion and homosexuality. ...

Pryor was immediately sworn in in Alabama by another 11th Circuit judge.

The Constitution gives the president authority to install nominees in office when Congress is not in session. Both houses were out this week for the Presidents Day holiday. But the appointments are good only until the end of the next session of Congress, in this case the end of 2005.

Last month, Bush used a similar appointment to promote Mississippi federal judge Charles Pickering to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. ...

Republicans have been unsuccessful in five attempts, the last one in November, at breaking through the parliamentary blockade that Democrats erected against Pryor's nomination.
