I've said this from the beginning. The Pubs would make a phony 'deal' with the Dems to allow them to save face and fundraise--but we would still get up-and-down votes on anyone that comes out of the JC.

I understand what you are trying to say

But I really don't think .. other then the 7 dwarfs .. many of the other pubbies are not in on board with a deal like that

Also .. Should that be true .. it will make them like like hyopcrites and it will back fire on the pubbies if that happened

Well I believe they will be history,but Mccain is not up til 2010. Mccain is an elderly sick man so I hope we get the Governor's mansion in Arizona back soon in case Mccain croaks.

He can't pull the trigger until the donks deny cloture. I say frist should keep this on the exec calander and force the donks to tip their hand.

...And the donks will tip their hand. This whole deal was a time buyer by the libs. Graham was foolish to buy into the wapo/mccain/nyt cabal. I think frist can pull Graham back if he makes the donks reneg. Sounds like frist is going to do just that.

If this senate resorts to reckless filibusters of qualified nominees, Frist WILL move to enact the constitutional option.

Frist has left the building..... What's everyone think?

Frist sounds like his trigger finger is itching and can't wait to nuke all the ba**ards, cabal of 7 first. Go Frist Go!

"Frist will pull the trigger if the Dems filibuster at any time!"

Can someone clear this up for me... I just heard Frist say this on Hannity, yet if I understood what Rush was saying earlier the agreement says that the Constitutional Option CANNOT be used again for a year and half.

Frist-If this Body resorts to filibusters he will move to use constitutional option.

Frist is going to pull the trigger no matter what the damn RINO's agreed to. Good for him!!

Senator Frist, I know you weren't apart of this betrayal and commend you. bring them all up and let Lindsey, McCain and the others stare in their face when they make the vote. Put them on trial the way they put thse Justices on trial.

I realize he has to wait for a filibuster, but I would have him make this the sole business of the Senate for the next 3 months. bring them all up one by one and make the RINO's and red state Dems sweat with every week their betrayal lingers.

"Frist-These seven want the other side to filibuster nominees. Take that Lindsey!!"

Frist just let Graham know Frist is still majority leader. Let's face it this all goes back to usurpation of power, from Spector & the Judiciary Committee, Frist as Majority Leader and even to President Bush's right to name nominees without prior input from senators.

Frist never agreed to that. It's his call, not the 7 dwarfs (although they'll probably vote with the dems if he calls it.)
