I hope the Dems soon call an appointment "extreme" and resurrect the filibuster, then, maybe - just maybe - Frist et al will say to the moderates "you tried it your way, now we'll try it my way..."
Yep, and when this happens, and it WILL happen, the "moderates" will have the political cover they need. Also, they will need to b*tch-slap the Democrats for making them look like dupes and morons.
