The Dems will delay through debates .. aka, grandstanding

The Republicans better not take their BS and state so on the Senate floor

"I thought Republicans controlled Senate".....

I have a feeling the Dems are going to do this over and over with every appointment, every bill, and make life for GOP's hell. I hope they cut them at the knees early and show them who is in control. What a waste of tax payers money for them to vent their vile.

Senate Rules don't allow ANYONE to "Control" the Senate. It doesn't work that way. Senators are given much more power than House members. Even cloture doesn't end debate -- it just limits debate. If Senators want to bloviate about the nomination beyond tomorrow, there is nothing that can be done. Not that FACTS would stop some people from blasting Frist, of course.
