based on Frist's last actions before Memorial Day recess, shouldn't Janice Rodgers Brown and Pryor be first up?
Was Kavannah kicked overboard in the deal as George Allen alledged?
You'll have to check the calendar, although I thought Bolton would come back up first. I don't know about deal rumors, although I would take what Mr. Allen has to say seriously.
Debate on Brown starting 2 PM Monday. Cloture vote on Brown at noon on Tuesday. No schedule announced for debate or cloture vote on Pryor, but the cloture motion was filed "at the same time" Brown's was. The cloture motion can be vote on, and debate can follow if the cloture motion passes.
The cloture vote for the Bolton nomination is under a Motion to Reconsider. As far as I know, there is no "outer time limit" for voting on the motion to reconsider, since the underlying matter hasn't been passed along, in this case, the nomination hasn't been passed along to the president.
If anybody has definitive information relating to how a motion to Reconsider (Rule XIII), Cloture (Rule XXII) and Handong of nominations (Rule XXXI) play together, I'd like the benefit of your insights.

Reid wants to scuttle the nominations of Haynes and Kavanaugh ...

All nominations have to be disposed of somehow. They don't just disappear. The manner of being "kicked overboard" is important. If the nominee is rejected in an up-or-down vote, the Senate has at least given voice to its sense.
