Judging by the latest rounds in the Senate, this could be incredibily B O R I N G.

But I have decided one thing: I want them to do it -- and I don't much care what anybody else says about it "on the TV." I don't care if it IS changing the rules.

They lie about Bush and us with wild abandon, so what does it matter? They will twist it however they twist it.

The Dems have painted themselves in a real corner. They never thought the GOP would call their bluff, and now they have no way out. Their base would cruicify them. THis is a kamikaze mission for Reid, and BTW, affter the 2006 election, when the GOP gains again in both houses..look for Reid and Pelosi to get tossed overboard by their caucuses..Also, when the 7 finally do get an up-or-down vote...many will get 60+ in favor..

It will be that mostly until and at the point Sen. Frist decides to try and close debate and bring the senate to a vote. I don't know how long he thinks is reasonable for debate on the nomination but whenever that point is reached that is when the fireworks will begin. And that won't happen until you see VP Cheney presiding.

At least he's now taken the Senate into Executive Session and maybe he'll get a few of the nominations on the floor. Owen, Saad, Brown, Bolton is still a question mark because of the Boxer Hold and I think there are others on his calendar.
