Given what the author of this fine piece has written, what would you have suggested the leadership have done? Seems to me they were stymied by Senate rules and recalcitrant RATS with nary a possibility of defeating them.

Read post # 33. The Senate makes it's own rules and procedures, and the courts can't interfere because the Constitution gives the Senate that right. Nothing is stopping the pub leadership from having their way on this issue, nothing that is except a lack of guts. Frist is no better than that big wuss Lott.

I would suggest that they should make the Demonrats fillibuster 24-7 - see if any of them have it in them to break the late Strom Thurmond's record for a fillibuster. And the sheeple might then get a chance to see the Demonrats for the weapons of mass obstruction that they are. But Frist and his merry band of political eunuchs won't go there, because it might make them look too partisan.
