The overriding GOP talking point should be that the RATS are denying blacks and minorities deserved promotions.

He can rebuild a heart, but can't give Harry Reid a transfusion of honesty.

Frist will impress me for the first time if he follows the advice of the Byrd Precedent.

The question is, do we have 51 senators that will vote for the change? I know there are about 3 dims that would not filibuster anyway, but does that mean they will support the change? Even if they don't, we are OK so long as no more than 4 pubbies defect on the issue. Any thoughts?

"Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is using the Internet to explain why the Senate may change its rules to allow an up-or-down vote on President Bush's judicial nominees."

And any future President's nominees...
That's what worries me.

I have never doubted for one second that if the roles were reversed the Rats would have ended the filibuster in the first year of their presidents first term and then would have said "quit acting like a bunch of babies crying about it".

The senate is well within its rights to set its rules and why have a majority if your not for something. If your for something then gosh darn it get it done, or get out of the way and let somebody else get it done.

I have lost all faith in the GOP, except maybe for Tom DeLay.
