NOPE!! Frist is armed and ready to change the rules if the dems try to filibuster anything.

Frist could force them to actually filibuster - or he could change the rules - and he's already warned them he's prepared to do that. I suspect they will try to force his hand - just so they can whine to the media on how unfair the repubs are and how power hungry they are .. etc.

Frist has vowed a change of the rules of filibuster only in regard to judicial appointments. I've not heard him say that filibusters will be opposed for other legislative business.

I do believe, however, that I've read someplace that the rules don't permit filibusters of budgets.
