Whenever the Judiciary Committee reports out the Alito nomination, the full Senate will begin work on the nominee the next business day.
If Democrats delay final action past January 20th, he will cancel the recess for the week of January 23rd which he had previously scheduled with the knowledge of Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
Until the Senate votes, up or down, on the Alito nomination, he will not act on any other legislative item.
Let's hope Frist sticks with his statement for a change...
I hope the GOP Congresscritters have been taking notice of the "new and improved" George Bush...being assertive and not defensive...
THEY need to start the new session..by marking their territory.
