Frist is as boring as a mud fence, but he has pushed GWB's judges through.

Only the ones that the DEMs "agreed to," albeit under pressure.

After a slew of confirmation votes in May, Frist left the nominations of Myers and Boyle on the table, unaddressed. Myers was out of Committee on March 17, and Boyle on June 16.

Left in Committee at the end of the year (just looking at Circuit Court nominations) were Haynes, Saad and Kavanaugh.

I do fault Frist for not invoking the "Constitutional Option" the very first time the RATS pulled this nonsense on Judicial nominees.

Back in the 108th Congress? I don't think the political momentum was there, at the time. The issue hadn't festered enough. BUt I suspect he might get a rise out of the DEMs, perhaps enough to get them to filibuster, if he'd bring Myers and Boyle up for a vote. Almost certainly would if he can get Specter to move Saad and/or Kavanaugh out of Committee, and to the floor for debate and vote.

Do you think he will?

I sure hope Saad and Kavanaugh would be brought up again. Whether Frist will do so is the 64 thousand dollar question. My guess is no, unless GWB enominates them like he has done in the past with Pryor and Janice Rogers Brown
