I have a feeling that Frist and Reid will strike a compromise. I have no idea what it will be, and I reserve judgement until I see it, but if Frist agrees to confirming only 2 of 7 judges I will not even consider supporting him for president in 08. One more point, why doesn't President Bush wait until summer break and recess appoint all 7? Can you imagine the hysterical screaming from the demonrats and the MSM if Bush did that?

Yeah, maybe Frist wants to complete political suicide after coming all this way. Even now, he's starting to hear the cheers from our side as he shows that he's not going to back down. If he pushes this through, he IMMEDIATELY becomes the prohibitive front runner for the 2008 GOP nomination for president, with the strong support of the religious conservative base. If he backs off, he is out of politics once his term ends, but the NY Times and MSM will hail him as "courageous". Which way do you think he wants to go?
