Frist voted "No" because he realized the Motion was going to be defeated. Only those on the winning side can move for reconsideration, which Frist just did. When the Senate reengages, the Bolton cloture vote will occur again.

Between now and Tuesday (?) Frist will be seeking two more votes to force the issue of the Bolton nomination.
