This is a stall. The test will be to see if Frist brings these three up tomorrow for the up or down vote, and then brings the fourth up Wednesday. The stall will thereby purchase a total of 2 days, if Frist plays it correctly.

If the Dems filibuster the next judge outside the agreement, the RINOs are given cover in their next election as having themselves been betrayed.

In other words, this can be a huge victory in not just numbers but PR too, but Frist has to play it right.

Big if. I think his sense of timing may be a problem. Somebody pointed out earlier that one of the problems was that Frist was late in starting out on this - if he'd done it in January, it would have been easy. Or easier, at least.

Yeah, he sure was master of the clock up until this point. I am sure it will take up most of the 109th for him to bring up 4-5 judges + Bolton. Face it we have a moron and a neutered one for Leader.

He can't lead a majority party.

Yep!
