The longer these filibusters go unchallanged the more the dems are encouraged to keep pursuing them. Most of the voters do not care about this as a galvanizing issue, which is indeed sad.
I did not like Trent Lott's actions as Senate Majority last year, primarily because he was a patsy to the dems time afer time.
We keep hearing of these 'nuclear' plans and special procedures to defeat the filibuster, but nothing comes of it.
Frist had better do something soon or we will never get a SCOTUS nominee confirmed.

I'm beginning to think we were better off with Lott as Senate Majority Leader (shudder)
