He is the leader of the Judiciary Committee and has stated that he hasn't made up his own mind yet. What kind of message does that send to fence sitters?

I think Specter is going to do everything he can to come up with a compromise here, but if there is no compromise when it gets to gonad-cutting time, I think he'll vote to end the filibusters.

In fact, I would not be surprised if his painstaking, judicial presentation here is deliberate and intentional and has been signed off on by Frist.

Again, I think people here are upset that this is not going to be decided five minutes from now, that Frist is not going to immediately prime the bomb and push the button and call for a vote five minutes from now.

This is not going to be decided five minutes from now, he's going to let people talk and talk and talk and talk until we're all bored silly, just to have it on record how much debate was permitted on this.

Nothing is going to happen until next week, and I don't see a whole lot we can do about it.
