I admit that the offer would be tempting due to the SCOTUS pledge. Heck, Frist has more of a spine than me on that one maybe.
I am hopeful and assume that the nuclear option would also end fillibusters on any judicial nominee.
The Hill report seems to say appeals court ones, but I think that is just the wording causing confusion. The other articles say going nuclear would end all judicial fillibusters.
If Frist pulls this off he's got my vote for President in 2008
