I say he has been dragged to this because he would not have done it if he had not felt the pressure from conservative groups and constitutionalists. I'm sick of republicans trying to gain the high ground because they'll never get there. No matter how high they get or how many conciliation they attempt to make, they will still be blamed for the starving children and old ladies eating catfood. We gave him the power with more seats in November. Use it. Enough delays. Yes, we're finally here, but it's been a long wait.
"I say he has been dragged to this because he would not have done it if he had not felt the pressure from conservative groups and constitutionalists."
Again, I ask you for the proof. Where has he said that he was opposed to the "constitutional option", if push came to shove? Please leave the emotion out of it (e.g., "I'm sick of this", "I'm tired of that,") and show me how Frist has been forced to change his position on the "constitutional option" by the pressure you speak of.
And, by the way, it would be nice if MORE Republicans listened to the pressure from "conservative groups and constitutionalists" rather than trying to get a nice write up in the Washington Post. (See e.g., McCain et. al)
