The Dems will eventually just vote 'present' on all the appellate court nominees and let them pass, hoping to avoid having Frist pull the trigger until it is over a Supreme Court nominee.
Then they will go all out to make the Nuclear option about abortion and try to use the issue in the 2006 elections under the premise that by letting Bush have his other judges it proves them to be fair-minded.
What we need is for Frist to nuke them right out of the box, and not let the Democrats bring the issue to a Supreme court nominee.
Well .. some people who know people in high places ought to put that little bug in somebody's ear .. Hmmmmm ..??
While I think you may have hit on something - I just have to disagree (because you knew I would) - the dems are so filled with hatred and rage they won't be able to control themselves - they will have to vote NO! .. it's the basics of liberalism - emotion over substance.
