That vote will be on a motion to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request Senators' attendance. Senator Frist will have more to say about next week's session on Monday.

Love the picture :-)

If the GOP does pull the nuclear option off, I wonder whether Bill Frist will be getting any apologies from the FReepers who bashed him incessantly throughout this ordeal?

In my opinion, Frist has shown a lot of backbone throughout this process, in the face of tremendous pressure from the obstructionist libs and the MSM. He deserves to be commended (and apologized to) if he can finish this off.

[Bahbah]

You are going to cause me to hurt myself laughing. I guess that's an ok way to go.

[Preachin']

I watched Se. Cornyn on Friday.

He speaks well and I think he's gonna be a heavy weight one day.

[NeoCaveman]

Alright! I've been waiting eagerly for this thread. I guess that means I have no work to get done, lol.

Okay, I see you have your "game" on for today already!

Is that Harry Reid in the dryer?

[Mo1]

FOFL!!!

[BreitbartSentMe]

Man I wish I had some cheese, to go along with all the whine that the Democrats are going to spew.....

[cotton1706]

I hope he doesn't get any apologies. When you have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the right thing, you don't deserve any apology for being excoriated.

[prairiebreeze]

thanks Oxen!

Well stated.

I'm hoping Frist continues "doing the right thing" regarding these nominations.

[spudsmaki]

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, this post is an apology in advance ... IF these judges make it to the bench.

In the meantime, keep calling the RINOs (of which Frist is one) with your desires. And respond to every request for money with NO JUDGES NO BUCKS.

There are a lot of pro-abortion Republicans who are just happy to blame the current situation on obstructionist Democrats. Don't be hoodwinked - make the RINOs go on record.

NO JUDGES, NO BUCKS.
