Did Frist call for a vote on Owen today? I am SO confused!
yes he said there will be a vote today
The cloture vote on the Owen nomination was filed Thursday and I think it will be voted on around noon today.
Frist thinks we can get to a vote on Owens tomorrow.
Frist says the nuclear option is still on the table.
Reid says the nuclear option is gone.
I believe he does plan to vote on Owen today! If Reid would shut up!

Reid offered unanimous consent to vitiate (skip, as passed) the Cloture vote, and move to Owen.
Frist said, "No." But, either way, there is a vote on Own in the near future. Either by cloture, or by unanimous consent.
