"The other way is for a Senator to raise a Point of Order that Rule XXII cannot apply to a judicial nominee (because it alters the required vote). Then, Dick Cheney in the Chair as President of the Senate can rule that the filibuster cannot be applied to judicial nominees."

I have e-mailed Senator Frist about this subject so often I am sure his office must have my address memorized! It infuriates me that the Republicans are so damned wimpy about making the Democrats "perform." MAKE THEM FILIBUSTER!!!
