If Frist was going to fold, he would have taken the offer to approve 5 of the 7 appeals court nominations and the offer not to filibuster any Supreme Court nominees.

You have far too much faith in these spineless Republicans. They piss and moaned for years because they were the minority and have pissed and moaned the last 5 years because they are the majority. Frist is as spineless as Lott and don't have near the hair as Trent.

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.
