Senator Frist, leading the Republican Party straight into the minority.

Last week, the Bush boys and the Judiciary had their crack at it, and blew it.

Now Frist and the Senate look to be blowing their chance.

[kingattax]

Sister Frist strikes again. He needs to keep puffin on his crack pipe if he thinks he has a snowball's chance of being president.

"Frist and DeLay, as the Senate and House majority leaders"

Reuters is so stupid.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Looks like after his term is up, Sen. Frist will have a bright future -- in the practice of medicine.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

That's a relief!!! For a while there I thought Senator Frist actually had a chance at getting the Republican presidential nomination!

[carolinablonde]

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I didn't take what Tom DeLay said in the way everyone else seems to be.

My reaction was that he was talking about what the judge(s) will have to answer for to God.

Bye bye presidential bid

[thoughtomator]

Don't count your Frists before they chicken?

We'll need to come up with a new joke for his spinelessness... this old one just works a lot better on Orrin Hatch.

[MisterRepublican]

Hillary Clinton has bigger testicles than Senate Eunuch Leader Frist. He is a disgraceful coward. I thought Lott was an ineffectual milquetoast but Frist reaches new lows of cravenly resignation daily.

[smoothsailing]

Why would Frist think the judiciary is fair and independant.

Independant,fine,as it should be.

But fair?What in the world is he talking about?

[xzins]

"I believe we have a fair and independent judiciary today," said Frist, now trying to resolve a battle with Democrats over judicial nominations that threatens to tie his chamber into knots. "I respect that."

I've been a Frist supporter for some time, but the above is absurd.

For one thing, it misses the point entirely. I don't want them fair or independent...I want them constitutional.

The constitution is a piece of paper. It says some things, and it doesn't say others. It's that simple.

[rocksblues]

Just your basic CYA good ole boy statement.

When a Conservative has the balls to speak the truth he is attacked from all sides.

When a RINO says what the MSM/Liberal Left wants to hear his statement is trumpeted far and wide!

[Ol' Sparky]

The gutless wonders in the Senate never fail to amaze. It's no wonder we have the equivalent of a judicial dictatorship on issue after issue when Frist and the Republicans lack any backbone or conviction to make changes the people want.

Frist has or had a chance to set himself up for a President run. But, if he and the Republicans fail on the issue of the judiciary, he'd be better off thinking about retirement.

[Bahbah]

Suck-up.

[Cecily]

No they didn't, Bill Frist. Terri needed her entire case to be heard in a court far away from George Greer. Greer was obviously not ruling in favor of Terri and the rehabilitation she was supposed to be getting, and he was letting her husband and his vampire lawyer waste her $750,000.00 rehabilitation and therapy fund. Greer deserved to be overturned years ago.

[GreenHornet]

As a friend of mine from Alabama told me recently, "Frist" is short for "Floppy Wrist".

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I feel like a gay guy after his first Fristing.

[housewife101]

Figures...no backbone...

[Saundra Duffy]

Figures. This kind of thing is why I left the Republican Party and re-registered as "Decline to State".

I heard that Republicans are leaving in droves - Terri AND the illegal immigration issue.

What are the Republicans thinking? Can they really be this stupid?!

[Eastbound]

" . . . "right-to-die" case, . . . "

Here all along I thought it was the 'right-to-live' issue on the human side and the 'right to kill' issue on the other. What we need to do is create a court system that knows the difference.
