It'd be sort of nice if the party with 55 out of 100 votes in the Senate could simply enforce a longstanding Senate rule.

Yes, I watched an interview with Senator Frist on Brit Hume's Special Report Thursday as I recall.
To: All
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Frist's proposal is "a big wet kiss to the far right."Anyone have a good Graphic for this quote?

I believe it IS "breaking", as many of us thought Frist would cave in to the Pressure from the LEFT, and NOT go through with this...... I believe this option WILL pass.

100 hours seems like a reasonable time to debate the merits of officials being appointed to these very important positions.
