Rush just said that his office has spoken to the office of Frist - and THERE IS NO RATIFICATION OF THE "DEAL" - SO IT'S NOT SET IN CEMENT. And .. there is a way to test the deal .. and if any of the 14 go against it - then the DEAL is OFF - and the nuclear option is still on. Reid alluded to it earlier on the Senate floor - whining about the continued threat of pulling the trigger.
So .. my vote is still out. I'm glad to see 3 GREAT judges will be confirmed .. but from there I'm not happy.
