Ohio is drifting left, but I contend the reason is because the Republicans in that state have become corrupt Liberals. This is why I want Blackwell elected.
I posted two different sources of Frist's comments. very few were as active as I was in those threads for months. Frist did not take it off the table.
It can be questioned if he'll bring kavanaugh, Myers and the others to the floor. he hasn't yet done so. That would deserve rebuke if he does not and I admit increasingly impatiance. But I won't allow he took it off the table when he clearly did not, nor allow the idea the rules change could occur without a standing filibuster.
as a side note he COULD jhave called for a rule change with Bolton, but i suspect the W.H. prefers to recess and save the nuclear option solely for judges.
I think you are right about Bolton. From everything I have heard from the Senators here, they will only use the Constitutional Option for judges (for right now). I am convinced that everything is on a time table for all judicial nominations and Frist and company know what they are doing to draw out the RATs. In the end McCain and his group will get egg on their face when the RATs start filibustering judicial nominations again.
I sure hope that Blackwell gets elected -- about time for the country club Republicans in Ohio to get sent packing!
