I hope the hammer falls today.
I am tired of waiting.
Isn't he over in the House of Representatives? ;-)
The hammer won't fall today. Try to be patient. Frist is going to give the DEMs all the debate they need to make their point. That is figured to take a few days. Starting tomorrow, or more likely Friday, he will start to ask unanimous consent to take the vote.
I speculate that he will never call for cloture, but will ask each DEM who objects to the vote to express why they object to the nominee, and since they know how they will vote on the nominee, it makes sense to move to the vote. No need for cloture if every Senator knows how they will vote on the nominee.
