I think when Frist votes no that it means he can resubmit the motion....not sure, but I read that when he voted no another time. Anyone know for sure?

I do ;-)

I heard Lindsay Graham on Tony Snow's show yesterday...and he said he WANTS an old-fashioned filibuster...and he seemed to indicate that he would be FOR one if this happened..

I want the nation to listen to Kerry whine about having to be in DC. Seems he finds it so distasteful, the good citizens of Mass should wake up it is JOHN KERRY, not JOHN KENNEDY they are sending to DC as their Senator and correct their voting error. Too many of them seem confused. Kerry find it so distasteful to be in the Washington in Dec, I suggest he not be sent to DC AT ALL.

He can only break ties. This vote takes 60 not a simple majority.

an old-fashioned filibuster

Want to see Byrd read the collective works of Charles Dickens on the Senate floor at 1:30 AM Dec. 25.

Should remind him of the good ole days filibustering the Civil Rights Acts.
