Sen. Bill Frist should "stop dividing Americans along religious lines" and "stop trying to do away with the filibuster as we know it," Democrats said on Monday, one day after Frist addressed conservatives about the Democrats' unprecedented filibuster of judicial nominees.

In a Monday-morning message to supporters, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee singled out "some of the most outrageous things" conservatives said at a Justice Sunday event, which was beamed to churches around the nation.

In its Monday-morning message, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee thanked the 25,000 people who signed a DSCC petition urging Sen. Frist to stop "exploiting his office for political gain." The DSCC said the Associated Press took note of the opposition in its reporting on Sen. Frist's Justice Sunday speech.

"We cannot let up now," the DSCC said. "Just because Frist chose his words a little carefully last night doesn't mean that he's not still planning to bring forward the nuclear option in the next few weeks."

The message tells Democrats to "be ready" for the next phase of the campaign to retain "200 years of Senate tradition."

A vote on changing Senate rules -- to get around Democrat filibusters of judicial nominees -- could come this week.
