Again, we should've pulled the trigger when we had a chance on the constitutional option. I don't know why the president wouldn't knock heads and go to the matresses and get it done, because he was stronger then than he is now. Not that he's impotent, but the reality is that in a second term, any president, regardless of party, becomes more of a lame duck literally with every passing day. I know why Frist wouldn't, he has the backbone of a chocolate eclair, to steal a line from T. Roosevelt.

If I recall correctly, right about the time the whole issue wasd available to vote on, we decided that doing SOMETHING to save Terri Schiavo was far more important than getting nominees appointed to the Supreme Court.
