Well, I remain mystified that with 55 GOP Senators, all of whom won an election on his watch, the President hasn't been allowed to put his stamp on the court system.

Let me help out here. 55 is less than 60.

The rabid left figured Bush was going down last year, that's what started the whole filibuster and judicial blocking now almost three years ago. The liberals plus the media party thought they could pull a "Vietnam on Bush".

Now that Bush won and the left has gone nuts, they don't know what to do but continue.

My take, Frist is going to shove the moderates to the wall and off the cliff. He is still the leader and does control the agenda. Revenge is his prerogative, they all want something, like their base to not be closed ;-). We'll see if Frist has the stones. In any event, I bet he blows up the deal which he is not bound by.
