Maybe when Frist offered 100 hours back in the filibuster battles of the 108th Congress. The DEMs never took the offer, so Frist filed cloture motion after cloture motion.
I imagine Frist will try for another UC to move to the vote at least once more prior to the cloture vote.
I agree. I think Reid will ask for that. The cover will be 60 votes to confirm the nominee.
Did you get the impression that Reid appeared chastened after Frist announced cloture?
So, should we keep stirring the pot over at DU so they try and get someone to object to the UC so the cloture vote happens anyway? Could there be a downside for us if that happens?
