If Frist doesn't tell the dems that there will be no filibustering of Bush's nominees after all that has happened in this case, then he is hopeless....
This is a perfect example of one judge using his power to usurp the wishes of the people through their representatives, Governor, and POTUS---
I know that Reid and Leahy and Kennedy prolly already have a speech prepared warning Frist and the Reps not to use this case for policital "gain", but Frist needs to point out to them, that "the people" the put them ALL there, democrat and republican alike will vote them out, if something isn't done about activist judges....
I was really disappointed last night, when I heard that the reason that Sen. Kent Conrad (D) of North Dakota, and Sen. Tom Harkin (D) of Iowa prolly only voiced their pro-Terri stance on the Senate floor last week because they are both in trouble in their states in the upcoming election...
Don't know if that is true, but since I wouldn't trust Tom Harkin any further than I could throw him, I don't doubt it much...
Harkin is not up for reelection until 2008. People in IA have traditionally considered him indispensable.
