I don't think Lott is the only one who knows about procedure... please...

Frist needs to submit funding for 2/3:1/3. After the Dems filibuster for a few hours, resubmit funding for 3/4:1/4. If they filibuster again, resubmit funding for 7/8:1/8, etc.

I'm sure there are others....Let's hope the others who do use their knowledge more effectively than what is shaping up as a fiasco if Republicans can't even get their own way in the opening days of the new session.

I mean, this is not about legislating but just setting up the groundrules for real discussions later.

The longer the delay in this, the less time for passing legislation.
