oh, I called Sen Nelson from FL today and an aide said he didn't know how he would vote. Well, the vote is today... I told him if he votes no, then to at least oppose a fillibuster. I think Graham is still recovering from surgery so he'll probably miss the vote.

The Senate Calendar says the next vote will not be before 5:15 pm on Monday. I don't know if that's the Estrada vote or something else as it doesn't specify... I'd like to see them vote on him and get on with the show.....

I think McConnell of KY is out also with surgery [bypass]... What about Laughtenburg, he had some surgery a few days ago also.

The Honorable Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a paragon of virtue, has taken the floor.
