LIVE THREAD: Reid presser. C-span2, 1PM.. followed by Senate session....Frist's comments..
C-span

Posted on 05/16/2005 9:54:06 AM PDT by ken5050

OK, folks..let's se what going to happen today as we move closer to the showdown in the Senate. Live, at 1 PM EST on C-span 2, "Searchlight" Reid is holding a presser to discuss judicial nomination. The Senate then convenes at 2PM, and as Majority Leader, Frist will make the opening statement. Then Reid will speak. Frist as pissed at Reid last week..for announcing a possible compromise on the Senate floor without FIRST telling him of it..and Frist has yet to speak about Reid's comments about FBI files. Should be fireworks..

Specter would soon retire becuase of health resasons, and Casey would be appointed to the seat.

Wouldn't that make Senator Kyl the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee? That would be sweet!

Frist will NOT fold..He publicly said several times that the only acceptable "compromise" is an up-or-down vote on ALL nominees..
