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

He has no choice at this point. He's been sold out by members of his own party. If he pushes the "nuclear" option at this point, it'll fail. He's had the rug yanked right out from underneath him. Nothing short of betrayal, in my opinion, especially when they leave the option for the Democrats to again filibuster other nominees. All they have to do is meet some arbitrary, Democrat defined measure of "extreme", and it's back on.

When will these people learn you can't make deals with snakes? Every, and I do mean EVERY one of the RINOs who brokered this self-destructive "deal" need to be voted out next time around. I hope Frist does what little he can at this point to make their legislative lives as uncomfortable as possible.

Unanimous Consent

You betcha. But all of this wheeling and dealing has to play out in votes.

What choice does he have???? The RINOs made the deal and will not vote for the nuclear option.
