U.S. President George W. Bush on Saturday celebrated victories Congress handed him this week, but he urged lawmakers not to rest on their laurels and to quickly approve his nomination of John Roberts to serve on the Supreme Court. Senators should use their August recess "to prepare to act on my nomination" of Roberts, Bush said in his weekly radio address. "This talented and capable man will fairly interpret the Constitution and laws, not legislate from the bench." "Our achievements so far this year show how much can be done when we come together to do what is right for the American people," Bush said in his address. "When Congress returns in September, I will continue to work with the Republicans and Democrats to build on this good progress for all Americans." Bush said that, though spending most of his time in Crawford, Texas, he plans to travel to seven states to tout his agenda, including talking to troops and their families about the war on terror and trying to reassure Americans that his economic priorities will lead to more jobs and continued growth. "I look forward to talking to the American people about our plans to continue strengthening the economic security of America's seniors and working families," he said.
