Excuse me guy and girls, but this is a deal worked out by a group of Senators and not the leadership, so before you jump on Frist you need to read what is going on. The Majority Leader does not have to accept this.

Frist's remarks on the floor just now tell me he's accepted the deal.

[beckaz]

He is not the Majority Leader if he cant LEAD 51 (GOP) senators.

>>>The Majority Leader does not have to accept this.

But he did. And if he had a molecule of testicular fortitude, there would have been no need for this deal. The 'Rats would be actually filibustering, not just threatening to do it and have the 'Pubbies cowering at the threat.

Frist could have solved this a couple months ago, but he played his lame duck a$$ too loud and too long. He has just committed political suicide, whether knowingly or not. Here in TN, many think it was on purpose.

"The Majority Leader does not have to accept this."


But he will. Damned RINO!

But he did.

RINOS

[Kath]

So what if he doesn't accept it. The RINO's will vote against the nuclear option. End of story.

"The Majority Leader does not have to accept this"

Frist may not have to "Accept" this, but there is absolutely nothing he can do to force the rule change necessary to end a filibuster with seven of his RINOs refusing to cooperate with him.

Face reality.... it's over. They just squandered the best and potentially only opportunity to significantly impact the make up of judges at the federal and supreme court level.

A very, very sad day indeed..
