Frist or one of his aides must have been reading up on this in the forum.
The phrase "nuclear option" is stupid PR. The Republicans who first used it handed a valuable propaganda tool to the enemy. Stupid. We should simply say, as Frist is saying, that the Republicans are following the constitution and that the Democrats are violating it by not letting judicial appointments come to a vote in the Senate.
It's not a euphemism, it's the truth.
Righteo.
I agree, I am against making threats or issuing warnings in any situation under any circumsatances. The action should come with no warning, no mercy, and no quarter.
