No specific info, but after a floor debate, a Senator can put a hold on it... Question as to what Frist would do in that event...

What are the purposes of a Democrat Senator? Most of them looked foolish yesterday and today. The only two purposes are obstruction and demagogue. This must be their strategy for the next election. Frist should just go around them and play hard ball. He should fight fire with fire. Boxer and Kerry lack common manners.

Guess I wasn't aware a hold could be placed on a nominee once they cleared the committee and came to the floor for debate and vote.... I knew holds were placed on nominees in committee thus keeping them from having a hearing...

Guess the other question is.... If a hold can be placed on a nominee after/during floor debate then why is there a need for the democrats to filibuster a nominee on the floor. Why not just use a hold and be done with it?
