The republicans are wimps. They're always "really close" to taking drastic action. When the heck are they going to do it? Why not tomorrow?
Exactly. Our congresscritters are all bark, no bite.
Yeh.
Remember that fiasco all-nighter they held last spring? Why not force the Dems into real filibusters, if they want to filibuster?
Frist is too neutralized, even though one of the reporters said Frist said he had 53 solid votes. For him to act, however, would mean he might have to actually do something. Shudder....chills...
Recount:
Democrats begin filibuster against Estrada - Feb. 13, 2003
Spring 2003, Frist threatens Dems about Judicial filibustering. Filibusters continue.
Judicial nominee Estrada withdraws his name - Sep. 4, 2003
[Who could blame him?]
Spring 2004, Frist threatens Dems about Judicial filibustering. Filibusters continue.
Spring 2005, Frist threatens Dems about Judicial filibustering. Filibusters continue.
Final count was what? 20 filibustered?
[See a pattern? Frist is good about threatening, lax on any actions. I'm betting that Frist will defer doing anything until after the 06 elections; then he will defer to the 08.]
