DeWine and Graham acted like there would be no more filibusters to hold up appointments -- guess they didn't read the fine print and like you have to wonder if the RATs have gone too far on Bolton now and they might be rethinking that you cannot trust the RATs at all.

Guess they should've gotten that in writing (assuming, of course, a floor vote on Bolton was an unspoken part of the "deal"). At least they didn't publicly throw away ambassadors or other nominations.

I truly wish that Frist would have brought up one of the 5 judges whose fates are unknown before Bolton (heck, I would've done it either before or concurrent with Owen); then, when the RATs continued with their filibuster, gotten DeWine and Graham on board with an expanded Constitutional Option, one that would have also encompassed Bolton. But, we are where we are, and Frist took a different calculated risk.

What's with Voinivich? I saw a replay of him on TV and no one gets that teary-eyed on the floor of the Senate over a UN nominee. I don't get him at all.

Someone from Ohio can probably answer better than I, but he seems to be a touchy-feely breed of RINO.

He's touchy feely, but I've never seen him lose it like this. He has always seemed at least stable..........until now.

I just wondered why all of a sudden he cares so much about this nomination, when he didn't bother to show up at the hearings on Bolton?
