I don't know much about legislative details. How can he stop the bill?

Yes, Senator Frist said that the Senate would debate his (Senator Frist's) bill.

RIGHT! I was absolutely depressed when I heard it passed today but than heard the good news that Frist will NOT allow it to pass. Thank God!

I predict Frist will substitute the Committee Bill for his. The Judiciary Committee considered and duly passed a bill. I think it sets up a very awkward precedent if the majority leader substitutes his personal will for the will of the appropriate committee.

Otherwise, Frist is tending toward outcome-based action, instead of rule-based action. What other actions of Committees will he overrride?

Don't count on it. Frist doesn't have the spine to block Specter's bill.

He's the closest thing we have to a political eunuch.

That's good news if Frist keeps it off the floor, hopefully there'll be confirmation of it but I haven't seen anything yet.

It only takes 40 to filibuster McCain-Kennedy/Specter

The House would never go along with this version of the bill, anyway.
