Have a nice day and enjoying trashing Republicans instead of the real culprits -- the DemocRAT Senators who used the Rules to their advantage!

Whining "blame the mean ole Democrats". They found a loophole and they used it. Hey, more power to them.

Frist has at least 2 options:

He would have done the nuclear procedure by using VP Cheney. Frist chose not too.

He could have forced 24/7 -- a real filibuster. He chose not too.

Instead, the Pubbies let Estrada's nomination swing in limbo for 28 months. How many months has Owens' nomination been in limbo. After seeing this today, how long before she withdraws her name? She sees she probably won't get much support either.

I give that about 6 more weeks.
