Frist could have avoided all of this if, at the beginning of this session, he had eliminated the judicial filibuster. But, nooooo! When this session began, the Dems promised no judicial filibusters. As usual, the Reps took the Dems at their word and now we are left holding the bag and made to look foolish in the MSM. The Dems do it to us every time. But worse than that, the Reps allow it to happen, every time. Every time the Dems offer to cooperate or play by fair rules, we need to think about Charlie Brown, Lucy, and a football!!

57% of Americans say that "Senate rules should be changed so that a vote must be taken on every person the President nominates to become a judge." That's unchanged from two weeks ago.

Maybe we ought to tell our U.S. senators about this poll, and also tell those "swing" senators.

Rush Limbaugh said that senators are wavering back and forth, partly because of pressure from the public - our phone calls, folks. Let's get more phone calls and/or e-mails than the other side does.

Even if none of these WAVERING senators is your own senator,
please call 'em, anyway.

The last I heard the key GOP Senators are John Sununu (NH), Collins (ME), DeWine (OH), Hagel (NE), Murkowski, Specter (PA), and Warner (VA). Frist can afford to lose only two, because McCain, Chafee, and Snowe have declined to end the judicial filibusters.

We can call toll-free at 877-762-8762 .


Fax or e-mail info can be found here (but phone calls are more effective):

Urge each to FULLY SUPPORT THE FILIBUSTERING
RULES CHANGE.
