I think Frist will get tougher as it goes. He's not one that likes to be beaten or embarrased by anyone. (He was raised the youngest of his family, to which I can relate.)

As can I. Yes, I have been told that is the plan...escalation of the level of strictness of filibster rules, as this process goes forward.

When Harry Reid turned to Frist this A.M. on the floor of the senate and said that the democrats were NOT going to allow Estrada's name to go to the floor for a vote, that they would STOP IT, I wondered what went thru Frist's mind. (I little outrage, I hope. And a great big bunch of determination to do the right thing.)
